Creating tables with existing data source in Entity Framework - vb.net

Question

I am new to MVC (using MVC4 and EF5) and I have been following the introductory tutorial (http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/gett...adding-a-model) to create a model, controller,and the views. I want to create an "Orders" screen where all orders are displayed, etc, just so I can understand CRUD operations with EF but when I publish to the server I am getting an error.
The first thing I did was right-click the models folder and add a new class to create a model:
Imports System.Data.Entity
Imports System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema
Imports System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
<Table("Orders")> _
Public Class Orders
<Key()> _
<DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)> _
Public Property OrderID As Integer
Public Property UserID As Integer
Public Property OrderDate As DateTime
Public Property OrderAmount As Decimal
End Class
Public Class OrdersDBContext
Inherits DbContext
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New("OrdersDBContext")
End Sub
Public OrderList As DbSet(Of Orders)
Public Property Orders As DbSet(Of Orders)
End Class
The next thing I did was add a line item into the Web.Config file:
<add name="OrdersDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=dbnumber.db.1and1.com,1433;Initial Catalog=db620663152;User Id=dbo620663152;Password=xxxxx;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
I built the project, eventually was able to create an "OrdersController" by right-clicking on the controller folder and selecting "Add Controller", making the appropriate selections in the wizard. Controller is now added. When I actually navigate to the newly-added orders area, I get the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

So, I am not really sure whats going on here. I am using a shared host and cannot access the database remotely; I also cannot have the code create a new database, the code needs to use the existing database and add the tables. This was fine for the account model (it created the necessary underlying tables for authentication/accounts). I think the issue here is that the code expects to create a new database (since the table for orders doesn't exist yet?).
If I am not off-base with my assumption, what should I do to tell my MVC app to use the existing data-source in the connection string rather than try and create a whole new database? I just basically want my application to create the tables with the given connection string in the web.config file.
Thanks for any advice.
