Dont get any tables or any thing up in my Console window

When i hit f5 the console window shows, but the data does not write to the console. When i run the program by hitting ctrl shift B its says that 0 succeds and 0 errors so there is something wrong here.

Could it have anything to do with where I save the file pn my PC?

using FilmGalleryModel.Models;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace FilmGalleryModel
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var context = new Context())
            {
                context.Films.Add(new Film()
                {
                    MovieTitle = "Inception"
                });
                context.SaveChanges();

                var films = context.Films.ToList();
                foreach (var film in films)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(film.MovieTitle);
                }
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace FilmGalleryModel.Models
{
    public class Film
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string MovieTitle { get; set; }
    }
}

using FilmGalleryModel.Models;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace FilmGalleryModel
{
    public class Context : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<Film> Films { get; set; }
    }
}

Anders,

Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+B will build your project, but if the project was previously successfully built and there haven't been any changes to the project since that build, then you'll see the message Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped.

Are you seeing the same message when building multiple times (and making no changes)?

Have you tried setting a break point inside of the Main method and debugging your app by pressing F5?

Thanks ~James
