Hi

It means that there have something wrong in your project, you need to check your project, rebuild it.

If we want to Enabling Migrations .The first step is to enable migrations for our context..

• Run the Enable-Migrations command in Package Manager Console . (make sure that default project is the project where your context class is).

Code First Migrations has two primary commands that you are going to become familiar with.

• Add-Migration will scaffold the next migration based on changes you have made to your model since the last migration was created
• Update-Database will apply any pending migrations to the database

Thanks for your reply.

I'm afraid my entity framework and sql configuration is correct in start up.cs.

Here comes my configuration:

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddMvc();
            
            var sqlconnection = "Data Source=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Initial Catalog=FirstAppDemo";
            services.AddDbContext<FirstAppDemoDbContext>(dbcontextoption => dbcontextoption.UseSqlServer(sqlconnection));



        }

Would you please let me know if any thing is wrong?

It's not depended to your config

According to your error, I said first build your project and sure you do not get any error

If your project become build success

Then 

• Run the Enable-Migrations command in Package Manager Console . (make sure that default project is the project where your context class is)

Next Add-Migration will scaffold the next migration based on changes you have made to your model since the last migration was created

I built my project and there is no error.

In microsoft documentation comes to this command:

Add-Migration InitialCreate

and when I write and run this command after a while this error comes which is highlighted:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

please inform.
