Feeds with comment in Xamarin.Forms

Question

I have been tasked with creating a discussion section/ Feeds with Xamarin.Forms.

 

I have looked for examples and found nothing.

 

I have to create a section of the app where Users can ask a question and other users can comment and/or like question. I basically want to create something like Facebook Feeds or Stackoverflow but must simpler.

 

I need some guidance as I am fairly new to Xamarin. I am using I have Generated the Models. I am Also using an SQL DB, with Web Services.

 

Any help will be appreciated. 

Answer 1

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.

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
