I'm still trying to get my head around what's what with ASP.NET 5 / EF 7. I'm using DNX projects (.xproj). Startup is used by OWIN/ASP.NET for configuring, loading services, etc. But it's also used for EF 7 migrations (to set your DbContextOptions for example). My main goal is to know how EF7 (and ASP.NET 5) bootstrap with Startup and who's creating the startup class, initializing the DI container, etc. An example of what I need to do, for context, is that in my xUnit unit tests (which are in their own assembly and reference my data assembly which doesn't have a Startup class), I need to

I'm implementing Specification pattern with generics and trying to dynamically apply criteria to projected simple (unmapped) versions of mapped entities. In general, it works fine, but Linq evaluates the expression locally as soon as I add Select and apply Where after it. The exact same Linq expression yields correct SQL query, if I build it as a local variable and pass to the same Where . Here's the simplified relevant code snippet: public interface ISomeable { string Some { get; set; } } public static Expression<Func<T, bool>> GetCriteria<T>() where T : class, ISomeable { return e => (e.Some

I am working on a web project using ASP.Net 5 and EF7. I have imported all the tables from existing database onto my models in my project. However, I am having problems in regards with migrations. I have created the initial migration, made some changes on particular entity, create another migration following the changes I have made and now want to apply the changes on the database. After running this command below: dnx ef database update [Migration] the dnx is trying to apply the 'initial' migration with all the entities which are already in database and this causes an error as below: { There

I use Entity Framework 7 with Npgsql adapter. Sql generated by EF seems like SELECT "r"."Id", "r"."Name" FROM "public"."Role" AS "r" and it doesn't work in Postgres, because case-sensitive policy. To make it work i need to write create table script CREATE TABLE "Role" ( "Id" int, "Name" varchar(200) ); But it's ugly. Is there the way to make EF generate scripts without quotes or with lowercase naming style? Shay Rojansky There's a very good reason Npgsql generates quotes everywhere - so you definitely should not remove them (even if it's technically possible as @natemcmaster says). Identifiers

When using asp.net core and ef core, I have no problem when invoking add-migration init . But when I apply the same approach on a console application below, I got an error saying: Unable to create an object of type 'StudentContext'. Add an implementation of 'IDesignTimeDbContextFactory' to the project, or see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=851728 for additional patterns supported at design time. What is the easiest way to fix this issue? The .net core console application project is as follows: appsettings.json { "ConnectionStrings": { "Storage": "Data Source=storage.db" } } EFCore
