Announcing Entity Framework Core 3.0 Preview 7 and Entity Framework 6.3 Preview 7
The following information will help you chose between Entity Framework Core and Entity Framework 6.x.
Entity Framework is Microsoft’s flagship Object/Relation Mapper, and the recommended way to access relational databases. Entity Framework Core is a complete rewrite from the “classic” Entity Framework, building on the new multiplatform .NET Core framework and adding the ability to connect to nonrelational data sources while keeping the features that made Entity Framework Code First so popular. In Entity Framework Core Succinctly, join Ricardo Peres to explore this new version of the O/RM, from getting set up to avoiding common traps.
Entity Framework Core (EF Core) 7 is available on NuGet today!
EF Core 7 is the successor to EF Core 6, and can be referred to as EF7 for brevity. EF Core 7 contains many features that help in porting “classic” EF6 applications to use EF7. As such, we encourage people to upgrade existing classic EF applications to use EF7 where possible. See Porting from EF6 to EF Core for more information.
Today, the Entity Framework Core team announces the first preview release of EF Core 6.0. This release includes new attributes, built-in functions, and database-specific improvements to SQLite and SQL Server capabilities.
Today, the Entity Framework Core team announces the eighth and final preview release of EF Core 5.0. The next release will be a release candidate (RC). This release includes table-per-type (TPT) mapping, table-valued functions, SQLite table rebuilds for migrations and much more.
Today we are releasing the final version of Entity Framework Core 2.0, alongside .NET Core 2.0 and ASP.NET Core 2.0.
Entity Framework (EF) Core is the lightweight, extensible, and cross-platform version of Entity Framework, the popular Object/Relational Mapping (O/RM) framework for .NET.
