当我第一次用种子文件部署数据库的时候出了这个问题

对一个或多个实体的验证失败。有关详细信息，请参见“EntityValidationErrors”属性。
 
实际上我不知道怎么查看这个验证错误的具体内容，Visual Studio 提示这是一个存有8个对象的数组
之前这个还是正常的，但自从我对它做了这些变动之后就出错了：
我有一个枚举类型叫Status，我把它改成了一个类Status
我给类ApplicationPositionHistory在同一个表里增加了两个外键 不好意思下面的代码很长，但我不得不这样贴代码。异常是在代码最后一行抛出的:

回答:
 
To be honest I dont know how to check the content of the validation errors, Visual Studio shows me that its an array with 8 objects. so 8 validation Errors.
 
实际上，如果调试过程中在Visual Studio里调取该数组，您应该会看到错误。
但是您也可以捕获异常，然后将错误写进日志或者控制台：
try
{
    // Your code...
    // Could also be before try if you know the exception occurs in SaveChanges

    context.SaveChanges();
}
catch (DbEntityValidationException e)
{
    foreach (var eve in e.EntityValidationErrors)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Entity of type \"{0}\" in state \"{1}\" has the following validation errors:",
            eve.Entry.Entity.GetType().Name, eve.Entry.State);
        foreach (var ve in eve.ValidationErrors)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("- Property: \"{0}\", Error: \"{1}\"",
                ve.PropertyName, ve.ErrorMessage);
        }
    }
    throw;
}
EntityValidationErrors是一个表示实体验证失败的多种错误的集合，每个实体内部的那个ValidationErrors就是一个属性级错误的列表
这些验证信息往往已经足够你找到问题的根源
 
如何修改？
几个轻微的改动：
那些错误属性的值可以被这样包含进循环中：
        foreach (var ve in eve.ValidationErrors)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("- Property: \"{0}\", Value: \"{1}\", Error: \"{2}\"",
                ve.PropertyName,
                eve.Entry.CurrentValues.GetValue(ve.PropertyName),
                ve.ErrorMessage);
        }
 
在Debug的时候，写入文件要比打印在控制台好一点。
不仅仅是控制台应用，所有类型的应用都应该写入文件（感谢@Bart在评论区的提醒）。
有些web应用通过Elmah生成异常日志，就我而言比较喜欢创建一个自定义的异常类并重写它的SaveChanges方法来抛出异常
这个自定义类就像这样
public class FormattedDbEntityValidationException : Exception
{
    public FormattedDbEntityValidationException(DbEntityValidationException innerException) :
        base(null, innerException)
    {
    }

    public override string Message
    {
        get
        {
            var innerException = InnerException as DbEntityValidationException;
            if (innerException != null)
            {
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

                sb.AppendLine();
                sb.AppendLine();
                foreach (var eve in innerException.EntityValidationErrors)
                {
                    sb.AppendLine(string.Format("- Entity of type \"{0}\" in state \"{1}\" has the following validation errors:",
                        eve.Entry.Entity.GetType().FullName, eve.Entry.State));
                    foreach (var ve in eve.ValidationErrors)
                    {
                        sb.AppendLine(string.Format("-- Property: \"{0}\", Value: \"{1}\", Error: \"{2}\"",
                            ve.PropertyName,
                            eve.Entry.CurrentValues.GetValue(ve.PropertyName),
                            ve.ErrorMessage));
                    }
                }
                sb.AppendLine();

                return sb.ToString();
            }

            return base.Message;
        }
    }
}
然后重写SaveChanges方法
public class MyContext : DbContext
{
    // ...

    public override int SaveChanges()
    {
        try
        {
            return base.SaveChanges();
        }
        catch (DbEntityValidationException e)
        {
            var newException = new FormattedDbEntityValidationException(e);
            throw newException;
        }
    }
}
备注：
Elmah在Web界面或发送的电子邮件中显示的黄色错误（如果你这么配置的话），现在将直接在邮件顶部显示验证详细信息。
之所以覆盖自定义异常中的Message属性而不是覆盖ToString()，是因为这样做的话，
标准ASP.NET的“黄色错误提示(YSOD)”也会显示这个信息。
因为YSOD与Elmah不同，YSOD不调用ToString()，但它们都会显示Message属性。
将原始的DbEntityValidationException包装成一个内部异常类，可确保原来的堆栈跟踪仍然有效，并显示在Elmah和YSOD中。
通过在一句throw newException就可以设置一个断点，
这样您就可以很容易地查看转化为文本的newException.Message属性，而不是去研究那个验证集合。
但这个办法似乎并不适合所有人（见下面的评论），这就比较尴尬了。
