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 Microsoft Active Directory schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

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

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

ActiveDirectoryContext ents = new ActiveDirectoryContext();
var UserQuery = from User in ents.User
                   orderby User.CN
                   select User;
