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 SAS Xpt schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

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

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

SASXptContext ents = new SASXptContext();
var SampleTable_1Query = from SampleTable_1 in ents.SampleTable_1
                   orderby SampleTable_1.Column1
                   select SampleTable_1;
