About this tag
The ef7 tag on WindowsForum.com covers Entity Framework 7, the object-relational mapper from Microsoft. Discussions include migrations, shadow properties, key generation strategies using sequences, and the overall future design of EF7. Content features insights from team members like Brice Lambson and Rowan Miller, with links to the official EF7 page and GitHub repository. Topics are developer-focused, addressing how EF7 handles database schema changes, hidden properties for model-database mismatches, and efficient key generation for large inserts.
This is the last installment in a series of videos made with the Entity Framework team. In this episode Brice Lambson describes migrations and how they are used in Entity Framework 7.

In this short video Rowan describes shadow properties new in Entity Framework 7. This is a super useful feature for those times when your database and your class model don't quite match up. Would love your thoughts!

In this short video Rowan takes us through a different approach to generating keys in Entity Framework 7 using sequences. This approach is interesting in cases of large INSERT batches primarily because keys are all fetched beforehand. Would love your thoughts!
