Why is my Entity Framework Migration referring to tables that don't exist?

Question

I cant figure out why my migration code is being created incorrectly. There have been no changes to the database model since I created the database.

Yet if I try creating a migration it fills with code that does not refer to the correct structure.. For example in the Up method I get

 DropForeignKey("dbo.Accounts", "BillingAddress_Id", "dbo.Addresses");

when in fact there are no accounts or addresses tables.

I am creating the migration in package manager using add-migration myname -StartUpProjectName UI I have the DataLayer as the default project

Answer 1

explicitly naming the -project and the -Startupproject parameters seemed to help fix this. i.e

add-migration kfirst -project DataLayer -StartUpProjectName UI
