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 Exchange schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

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

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

ExchangeContext ents = new ExchangeContext();
var ContactsQuery = from Contacts in ents.Contacts
                   orderby Contacts.GivenName
                   select Contacts;
