### DiceApp DB context with stub
We also now have a budding persistence solution, using Entity Framework.
Still in *Program.cs*, we also now have a nacent data layer, using Entity Framework.
Open the any of our *solutions* and navigate to the *Data* project. The *Program.cs* file has a `Main()` method that can be launched.
Open the *DiceAppConsole.sln* solution and navigate to the *App* project. The *Program.cs* file has a `Main()` method that can be launched.
The NuGet packages are managed in files that are versioned, so you shouldn't need to manage the dependencies yourself. *"The Line"* is taken care of too.
However, you do need to create the migrations and DB.
However, you do need to create the migrations and DB (and you probably should delete them everytime you want to reload).
First, in Visual Studio's terminal ("Developer PowerShell"), go to *DiceApp/Sources/Data*, and make sure Entity Framework is installed and / or updated.
Now the migrations and DB. Since we have a `DbContext`*and* and `DbContextWithStub`, you will need to specify which one to use. Make sure you are in *DiceApp/Sources/Data*.
```
dotnet ef migrations add dice_app_db --context DiceAppDbContextWithStub
dotnet ef database update --context DiceAppDbContextWithStub
dotnet ef migrations add dice_app_db --context DiceAppDbContextWithStub (OR 'DbContext' if you want an empty DB)
dotnet ef database update --context DiceAppDbContextWithStub --startup-project ../App (OR 'DbContext' if you want an empty DB)
```
You can now run the *Data* program, and check out your local DB.
You can now run the *App* program, and check out your local DB.
You may not want to read tables in the debug window -- in which case, just download [DB Brower for SQLite](https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/) and open the *.db* file in it.
