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 Sage 50 UK schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

After EF Core is set up and the Sage 50 UK provider is registered, you can begin querying your data with LINQ:

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

Sage50UKContext ents = new Sage50UKContext();
var TradingAccountsQuery = from TradingAccounts in ents.TradingAccounts
                   orderby TradingAccounts.Name
                   select TradingAccounts;
