Get a Head Start with Entity Framework Core 5.0 with EF Core Power Tools

You would really like to take advantage of Entitly Framewrk Core 5.0, but you are not familiar with the dotnet command line and the EF Core commands. See how the "EF Core Power Tools" for Visual Studio 2019 comes to your rescue!

Thank you so much Erik, these tools have made all the difference in the world to my migration to .NET 5. Every forum post about stuff that isn't working or is difficult in EF Core should be answered with a link to this video; I could've saved a day of frustration if I'd found it straight away.

Been using this tool for a while now with EF Core 3, the reverse engineering has saved huge amounts of time! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What’s the advantage of using his cogeneration tool over the built-in one?

[chrishildebran]

Just getting started with Entity Framework Core and have been struggling a bit. This Extension is immensely helpful! Your hard work and generosity is much appreciated!

Will this tool overwrite modals and context class each time when we use reverse engineering? I am only concerned with custom attribution or custom code we did in those modals/context class. BTW, great tool. I will differently use

Great tool Eric, is there anyway to manage/preserve [Display(Name="x")] attributes with EF Core Power Tools ?

[mattmarkus]

Good stuff. But I don't understand the point of the last part where you used a DB project and said it required a "live database". Because you did the same thing in both demos. You pointed the tool to a DB on your machine and reverse engineered it to get all the entities, and then provided a diagram. You said "now it'll only take a live DB". What do you mean a "live database"? You had a live db in both demos. So, what was different about the Northwind and the first DB, other than the project type you reversed engineered into and the actual DB used?. Or I should say, what was the implication you were trying to demo in the last part?

Does it work with Postgresql database and npgsql driver?

[darrellgamble]

Hi Erik. Any plans to make a Visual Studio Code extension for this?

[tommyj]

I would have thought that the tool would have been aware that when a table column is an "Is Identity" with an "Identity Increment" setting that the generated property would not have a 'set;' so that column would not be presented by Intellisense in a 'newing' situation. Or am I misunderstanding something?

[YASKME]

Does this tool support Many-to-Many relationship like EF 6 and earlier versions?

[nekodesu.]

cool!
but can't make scaffolded razor CRUD with this...

I followed your instructions and was able to get it to work the first time through the reverse engineer but when I took it through the second part where you separated the dbcontext some of the stored procedures disappeared and even after removing those setting the missing stored procedures would not reappear. So I deleted the configuration json file and the Models folder and started it over and then it generated them again. Seems like there may be a bug with the generation of the stored procedures a second time.

I downloaded this from visual studio marketplace and installed this on server only for Windows Defender to pop with potential threat as possiblehostsfilehijack
