With the new Version 7, Entity Framework is moving away from legacy systems and duplications which have accumulated in recent years. As a slim-line new development it will be available for .NET Core, and therefore also WinRT, whilst in addition allowing access to NoSQL databases.This session will show exactly what has changed and how you can benefit from the new possibilities.
Entity Framework Migrations are handled from the package manager console in Visual Studio. The usage is shown in various tutorials, but I haven’t found a complete list of the commands available and their usage, so I created my own. There are four available main commands
· EF 7.0.0 will not become the “official” version of Entity Framework.
· EF6 will continue to be the official version.
· EF6 will continue to be what’s delivered when you install entityframework via Nuget.
· Your apps that use EF6 will not automatically update to EF7!
I always love talking to Julie! She first spends some time discussing some of the new things in Entity Framework 7 and when one should consider using (and more importantly not using) the new bits. She also gets into her experience working with Aurelia and node.js. Enjoy!
In this short video Nate shows us how to use Entity Framework 7 in a cross platform way (on a mac in this case). One of the guiding principles (as outlined by Rowan in an earlier video) was the ability to use EF7 on any kind of device. This video shows the culmination of that work.
