Question

How to create an entity type and then generate a database table from it?
I know this feature was not supported two years ago in EF, what about now?

Answer 1

Now, Entity Framework introduced these feature.
Basically, with only two steps is sufficient for this, please see below steps to go:

1. Create your Entity

   public class Resturant
   {
      public int ID { get; set; }
      public string Name { get; set; }
   }
   

2. Create Context class

   public class OdeToFoodDb: DbContext
   {
      public DbSet<Resturant> Resturants { get; set; }
   }
   

However, you may need more coding in Global.ascx for advance options but these are the basic steps.

A database named “OdeToFoodDb” will create and a table named “Resturant” also will create by these steps.
