This is probably the first EF video that didn't try to shove code-first down our throats. I'm an experienced database programmer but .NET, EF just confuses the heck out of me, and given my background (Access and SQL Server), code-first seems like forcing me to write left-handed, like putting the wagon in front of the horse, it just doesn't feel natural. I need to learn how to do .NET for my job (I work at a database company and I'm a wiz in Access but they need more .NET folks) and I've taken (or started taking) about 8 different courses in EF, MVC, etc. 8 courses, 8 different ways to do it, and I haven't found a single one that I can understand yet. No two instructors do it the same way, they just confuse me more than I was when I started, and quickly give up on it. Yours might be the first I actually understand...

... and by the way Scottish is my FAVORITE accent! A breath of fresh air after all those thick Indian accents that seem to be on 90% of these videos.

Hey,

Can i do the same without it?
If i use the sqlConnection(), sqlCommand() class ?

What tools do you use to make wireframes? I need something

[Don-iivm]

Thanks for videos Mr Thistle.
What did you use to create the screen mockups?

[jb]

I never used or heared something about Paket manager bevor...The main task of that is to controll frameworks?

good morning
I am working on an application using EntityFramework to access the database.
 
I have a Store Procedure that returns a result of a pivot query dynamically, which I execute using the method
execute;
therefore the number of columns cannot be determined until the store procedure is executed.

Because I do not know the structure of the answer when mapping the store procedure in the entity, it does not determine the output object.
 
My query is:
There is some way to tell the entity that the result is dynamic, or rather datatable or something similar. ?

In order to solve the solution that I implemented, it was in this particular case not to use entity if not ADO.net, tweaking the result to a dataset.
