If there is an existing database and if you need to use Entity Framework, use Database First approach. Have Entity Framework generate the DBContext and the classes.
Install / Update Entity Framework tool:
dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef
dotnet tool update --global dotnet-ef
Add the following nuget packages:
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational
Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql
Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql.DesignThen run the following command:
dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold "Server=<SERVER>;User=<USERNAME>;Password=<PASSWORD>;Database=<DATABASE>;" "Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql"The EF classes and DBContext gets scaffolded.
