Creating the Data Model

There are two approaches to creating the context and entity classes for your application. Using the Code-First Approach approach, you can fine-tune your model by writing the classes manually. Alternatively, you can use Reverse Engineering (Scaffolding) to generate these classes automatically from your Smartsheet schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

After EF Core is set up and the Smartsheet provider is registered, you can begin querying your data with LINQ:

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

SmartsheetContext ents = new SmartsheetContext();
var Sheet_Test_SheetQuery = from Sheet_Test_Sheet in ents.Sheet_Test_Sheet
                   orderby Sheet_Test_Sheet.Name
                   select Sheet_Test_Sheet;
