Understanding the Basics of Entity Framework: Storing Class Properties in Different Tables
Introduction to Entity Framework and Storing Class Properties in Different Tables Background and Overview of Entity Framework Entity Framework is an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework provided by Microsoft. It enables developers to interact with a database using .NET objects, rather than writing raw SQL code. This provides several benefits, including: Easier development: Developers can write C# code to create and manipulate data, rather than writing complex SQL queries. Improved productivity: Entity Framework handles many low-level details, such as database connections and query optimization, freeing developers to focus on their application’s logic.
