Entity Framework Code First Options

Question

Is the database migration automatically written to match all class properties or can I use a general class and then pick which properties I wish to be included in the db? How do I manage classes as table objects? Does each model become a table?

Hi No Each model does not become a DB table If you decorated them with Table attribute or define dbset property in context class then it become DB table. Generally db table name and column name is same as model class name and properties name but we can change also. Please refer https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh126815.aspx hope this will help you.

Follow the below link for better understanding. http://www.google.co.in/url?q=http://www.entityframeworktutorial.net/code-first/entity-framework-code-first.aspx&sa=U&ei=z6rbVIn4A4zluQT6poHgBg&ved=0CAsQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNHXrGApef8mPSHLY8B5kkpoArcnLQ What happens is you create a class with properties and you specify the id or primary key with key attribute. Thus when enable migration is done it creates the migration which picks the classes and its properties and on update database the tables are created based on the connection strings. accept if helps thanks
