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 Zoho Books schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

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

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

ZohoBooksContext ents = new ZohoBooksContext();
var INVOICESQuery = from INVOICES in ents.INVOICES
                   orderby INVOICES.InvoiceNumber
                   select INVOICES;
