What you'll learn

With EDMX support fading away, it's even more important to use code-first as EF7 approaches. Most generators are rigid and don't provide you any flexibility in how the code is to be generated. But in this course, Code-first Entity Framework with Legacy Databases, we will be using the "Entity-Framework Reverse POCO Generator", a free visual studio tool, available at www.ReversePoco.com. This generator has been designed from the ground up to be customizable, and produce the code you would have done if you hand-coded it yourself. This course will show you what each of the various settings has on the generated code, and you'll also learn how to create separate data and model projects, as well as create repositories, unit tests and integration tests. By the end of this course, you will be able to flexibly generate code that meets your needs.
