Entity Framework (EF) Documentation

This page provides an index of videos, tutorials, and advanced documentation to help you make the most of Entity Framework. The following sections are included on this page. Get Started Past & Future Versions API Documentation Entity Framework 6.x Learn More About Setting Up Your Model Code First EF Designer Learn More About Using Your Model Using EF With Other Technologies Get Started with Entity Framework Which workflow should I use?Entity Framework allows you to create a model by writing code or using boxes and lines in the EF Designer. Both of these approaches can be used to target an existing database or create a new database. This short video explains the differences and how to find the one that is right for you. I just want to write code... I am creating a new databaseUse Code First to define your model in code and then generate a database.
