How to update an existing entity in nopCommerce 2.5 (MVC)?

Question

I did makes changes to class under Nop.Data > Mapping folder. But it does not created the column to database after I run the application. Is there anything else I need to do?

What is your point? Using EFCF does not entail checking if the existing database is aligned with the code on every request (imagine the overhead of that). Have you tried a fresh install after your mapping changes? — Klaus Byskov Pedersen, Jun 15 '12 at 13:55
I am new to nopCommerce and trying to learn how it works. I am not sure how to start fresh installation. If I start the fresh installation then what happens to existing data? Do I need to back and restore the data? — Naveen, Jun 15 '12 at 14:01
As I said, I think the easiest way would be to create the column manually. — Klaus Byskov Pedersen, Jun 15 '12 at 14:03
Ok. I was thinking there should be some way in which EFCF will check for the schema updates.I read more about it. Thanks! — Naveen, Jun 15 '12 at 14:39

add new property in Nop.Core\Domain folder.

Note: Nop.Data > Mapping is for mapping between your table and your entity classes.

Add new column in your table manually. Manually add column in table is necessary.

Change your Controller and View as per your requirement.
