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 Dynamics NAV schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

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

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

DynamicsNAVContext ents = new DynamicsNAVContext();
var CustomerQuery = from Customer in ents.Customer
                   orderby Customer.Contact
                   select Customer;
