Final answer:

To run a migration script in Visual Studio, open the project, ensure that the correct project is the startup project, open the Package Manager Console, set the correct default project, and execute the Update-Database command.

Step-by-step explanation:

To run a migration script in Visual Studio, you generally need to perform the following steps:

  1. Open Visual Studio.
  2. Navigate to the Solution Explorer and find your project.
  3. Ensure that the project that contains your Entity Framework migrations is set as the startup project.
  4. Open the Package Manager Console by going to Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console.
  5. In the Package Manager Console, set the Default project to the project that contains your migrations.
  6. Type and press Enter. This command runs the migration script and applies any pending migrations to the database.

If you are dealing with a complex project or have additional configuration settings, you may need to provide additional parameters or take further steps.
