title: Azure EF Code First Migration Initializer
body: <p>I am just messing with Azure, and I can't seem to get my Db to work.  I am following what it says here: <a href="https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/tutorials/web-site-with-sql-database/" rel="nofollow">https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/tutorials/web-site-with-sql-database/</a> and I updated my web.config to have this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;entityFramework&gt;
      &lt;defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" /&gt;
        &lt;contexts&gt;
            &lt;context type="DownloadThis.Models.DownloadThisDb, DownloadThisDb"&gt;
                &lt;databaseInitializer type="System.Data.Entity.MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion"&gt;
                    &lt;parameters&gt;
                        &lt;parameter value="DownloadThisDb_DatabasePublish" /&gt;
                    &lt;/parameters&gt;
                &lt;/databaseInitializer&gt;
            &lt;/context&gt;
        &lt;/contexts&gt;
    &lt;/entityFramework&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As is shown in the example, but I keep getting this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification
    starting at index 0.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have triple checked my connectionString, so that isn't it - any ideas?</p>
