c# - issue Initializing SimpleMembership in filter class -

i trying initialize attribute class reason struggling results.

i have created mvc4 "basic" project template in visual studio 2012. have created folder name filters in project , create class initializesimplemembership.cs. have home controller , associated view , calling [initializesimplemembership] in home controller class no result. application not generating required tables. (note: have created database before)

i trying initialize simplemembership least code can understand , make complex along grows.

in filter folder

using system; using system.data.entity; using system.data.entity.infrastructure; using system.threading; using system.web.mvc; using webmatrix.webdata; using simplelogin_system_04.models;  namespace simplelogin_system_04.filters  {   public class initializesimplemembership : actionfilterattribute   {     private class simplemembershipinitializer     {         public simplemembershipinitializer()         {            try             {                                 websecurity.initializedatabaseconnection("defaultconnection", "userprofile", "userid", "username", autocreatetables: true);             }             catch (exception ex)             {                throw new invalidoperationexception("the asp.net simple membership database not initialized. more information, ex);             }         }     }   } } 

homecontroller

namespace simplelogin_system_04.controllers  { [initializesimplemembership] public class homecontroller : controller {         public actionresult index()     {         return view();     } } } 

web.config ; connection string

<connectionstrings>   <add name="defaultconnection" providername="system.data.sqlclient" connectionstring="data source=(localdb)\v11.0;initial catalog=dd3;integrated security=sspi;attachdbfilename=|datadirectory|\dd3.mdf" /> </connectionstrings> 

i not see invokes constructor simplemembershipinitializer, has code initializing database. why not put code in default constructor initializesimplemembership.

i recommend putting initialization in global.asax application_start method instead of using filter class since putting in homecontroller. reason mvc 4 internet template uses filter on accountcontroller lazy loading security when security being used. if want initialized use global.asax. there description on initialization of simplemembership in article.
