How do I remove underscore of foreign key fields in code first by convention

Question

I\'ve got multiple classes (including TPT) in my project. Each POCO has a BaseClass, which has a GUID (called GlobalKey) as primary ke

You can do one of two things:

1. Follow EF conventions in naming of foreign keys, i.e. if you have virtual Address, define your key property as AddressId

2. Tell EF explicitly what to use. One way to do this is with Fluent API, as you are currently doing. You can also use data annotations, though:

   [ForeignKey("Address")]
   public int? AddressGlobalKey { get; set; }
   
   public virtual Address Address { get; set; }
   

That's your only choices.
