Assembly: EPiServer.dll
Version: 10.10.4
Syntax
public abstract class MigrationStep
Remarks

There is no versioning handling in a migration step. It is intended to be a very specific class for specific databases. It is safe to remove the migration step implementation after the changes described in it have been commited to the database.

Examples
  An example showing how to rename both a content type as well as a property on that content type.

using EPiServer.DataAbstraction.Migration;

namespace CodeSamples
{
public class MigrationStepExample : MigrationStep
{
public override void AddChanges()
{
RenameContentType();
RenameProperty();
}

private void RenameContentType()
{
//The content type formerly known as "Velocipede" should hereby be known as "Bicycle".
ContentType("Bicycle")
    .UsedToBeNamed("Velocipede");
}

private void RenameProperty()
{
ContentType("Bicycle")                  //On the content type "Bicycle"
    .Property("PneumaticTire")          //There is a property called "PneumaticTire"
        .UsedToBeNamed("WoodenTire");   //That used to be called "WoodenTire"
}
}
}
