Add-Migration Results to Exception with Invalid Column Message

I am struggling with the first migrations of EntityFramework code. I have initialized my project with Enable-Migrations

. This went well and after I created some models and added them to my class DataContext

, I ran the command Add-Migration InitialCreate

. This also worked well and I have successfully updated my database by running Update-Database

.

After a few days, I needed an additional field in my table with a name Altitude

that is a type double

. So I added a field and ran Add-Migration AddAltitude

. This gave an exception (see below for full traceback) with the message Invalid column "Height"

This is my model class ( Location.cs

):

public class Location
{
    public int LocationId { get; set; }
    public string SipAddress { get; set; }
    public double Latitude { get; set; }
    public double Longitude { get; set; }
    public double Altitude { get; set; }
    public DateTime LastUpdatedAt { get; set; }

}

And this is my migration InitialCreate

script:

public partial class InitialCreate : DbMigration
{
    public override void Up()
    {
        CreateTable(
            "dbo.Locations",
            c => new
                {
                    LocationId = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
                    SipAddress = c.String(),
                    Latitude = c.Double(nullable: false),
                    Longitude = c.Double(nullable: false),
                    LastUpdatedAt = c.DateTime(nullable: false),
                })
            .PrimaryKey(t => t.LocationId);

    }

    public override void Down()
    {
        DropTable("dbo.Locations");
    }
}

This is my config:

internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<myNameSpace.DataContext>
{
    public Configuration()
    {
        AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false;
    }

    protected override void Seed(myNameSpace.DataContext context)
    {
        //  This method will be called after migrating to the latest version.

        //  You can use the DbSet<T>.AddOrUpdate() helper extension method 
        //  to avoid creating duplicate seed data. E.g.
        //
        //    context.People.AddOrUpdate(
        //      p => p.FullName,
        //      new Person { FullName = "Andrew Peters" },
        //      new Person { FullName = "Brice Lambson" },
        //      new Person { FullName = "Rowan Miller" }
        //    );
        //
    }
}
