I am creating this model as part of my code first entity framework
public class NewUserRegistration
{
[Key]
public int NewUserRegistrationId { get; set; }
}
Using the Update-Database -Verbose -Force
command in the Package Manger ConsoleI get this exception during the this bit of the update Applying automatic migration: 201211252223088_AutomaticMigration.

There is plainly only one Identity Column specified. So why is this the case?
When I do this I get no exception.
public class NewUserRegistration
{
[Key]
public int Id { get; set; }
}
Any thoughts on why this is the case?
EDIT
I should say that I am changing the name of the key. The comments say that you can't just do this. How can I drop and recreate?
Is it best to delete the database from SQL and then just run the Update-Database
command again?
Best Answer
I encountered the same error when trying to rename a Key column. To make the migration work, I had to reorder the order of operations in my scaffolded migration script.
Here, I made sure to order the Drop operations first, then added the new Key field afterwards.
Hope that helps with your case.
