I am new to Entity Framework. I am currently doing a project in ASP.NET, Crystal Reports and LINQ to SQL.

I have the following tables on the database and I created my DBML from the database

  1. City
  2. City_Staff
  3. City_Program_Contact
  4. City_Official
  5. Comprehensive_Service

This didn’t error out. I just realized the DBML creates Class(Objects) and I am wondering whether this is a correct naming convention for the tables.

It could be great if you can let me know about SQL Server table naming convention and also correct naming convention in Entity Framework.

    First of all I’m not a big fan of using “_” in the naming. I use UpperCamelCase instead.

    For Tables :

    I advice you to use Plural in all Entities tables:

    • Cities
    • CityStaffs

    And if the table is just representing many to many relation and has no other fields then I name it as two Singular parts :

    • CityUser

    That will represent these classes after mapping in EF :

    • City
    • CityStaff

    And in the City class you’ll have Users property
