.net - How to use object but not update it in EF - C# MVC -

i'm using existing database code first approach.

i using new tables in db except 1 existing table need make use of. want able read table , not have changes occur if call update-database. how go this?

if use code below gets totally excluded context if remove ignore line in onmodelcreating have issues update-database command exists in db(and mentioned, not want update table @ time )

public class dbcontext : identitydbcontext<applicationuser> {     public dbcontext()        : base("defaultconnection", throwifv1schema: false)     {     }      public dbset<person> persons { get; set; }      protected override void onmodelcreating(dbmodelbuilder modelbuilder)     {         base.onmodelcreating(modelbuilder);         modelbuilder.conventions.remove<pluralizingtablenameconvention>();         modelbuilder.ignore<person>();     }      public static dbcontext create()     {         return new dbcontext();     } } 

i changed code following

public class dbcontext : identitydbcontext<applicationuser> { public dbcontext()    : base("defaultconnection", throwifv1schema: false) { }  //public dbset<person> persons { get; set; } public dbquery<person> persons {         {         // don't track changes query results         return set<person>().asnotracking();     } }   protected override void onmodelcreating(dbmodelbuilder modelbuilder) {     base.onmodelcreating(modelbuilder);     modelbuilder.conventions.remove<pluralizingtablenameconvention>();      modelbuilder.entity<person>(); }  public static dbcontext create() {     return new dbcontext(); } 

}

*note migrations enabled @ point

then got error "there object named 'person' in database."

then run pm> add-migration firstmigration

after go , delete create , drop table in migration script

run pm> update-database , should work now.
