How turn off pluralize table creation for Entity Framework 5?

Question

I am trying to use Entity Framework 5. The first problem was that EF creats tables automatically. I tried to fix it by including dbModelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>(). The second problem was the error like this

The model backing the 'CountryContext' context has changed since the database was created. Consider using Code First Migrations to update the database.

I tried fix it by dbModelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<IncludeMetadataConvention>(); but no sense. The data access layer the next:

Table(Name = "tblCountries")]
public class Country
{
     [Column(Name = "id", IsDbGenerated = true, IsPrimaryKey = true)]
    public int Id {get;set;}

    [Column(Name = "name")]
    public string Name {get;set;}
}

public class CountryContext:DbContext
{
    public CountryContext(string connStr):base(connStr)
    {
    }

    public DbSet<Country> TblCountries { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder dbModelBuilder)
    {
        dbModelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
        dbModelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<IncludeMetadataConvention>();
    }
}

    public class CountryDal:BaseDal
{
   public int CheckIsExist(Country country)
    {
        int id = 0;
        using (var context = new CountryContext(ConnectionString))
        {
            var first = context.TblCountries.FirstOrDefault(el => el.Name == country.Name);
            if (first != null)
            {
                id = first.Id;
            }
        }
        return id;
    }
    }

Additional info: VS 2012, framework 4.5, entity framework 5.0.0.0 And for EF 4 it works perfect (without OnModelCreating method).

Answer 1

You can write this code in OnModelCreating method:

modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
