Connecting to an existing database in ASP.NET Core 2.x app with Entity Framework 2.x

Learn how to connect to an existing relational database from ASP.NET 2.0 with Entity Framework 2.0. Also, a variety of annotations are discussed that facilitate data validation and formatting. Lastly, I show how to create a custom annotation that serves a specific validation need.

Great job.  You have a gift in the way you communicate the technology to others.  I'd love to see you put a video together on how to deploy an ASP.NET Core Web API 2.2 applicationinto a production environment, talk about what to watch out for, and how to deal with the endpoints, etc.

Thank you for sharing this video. I'm missing the MVC controller with views using EF in VS2019. Does anyone know how to solve this?

The app settings are not the best place to save the db connection string. You should save it in the user secrets and then the user secrets will be inserted in the app settings at runtime. This way the credentials and so on are not checked into source control. But nice video

Good video, but you can share your source code and sql data
