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 Paylocity schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

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

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

PaylocityContext ents = new PaylocityContext();
var EmployeeQuery = from Employee in ents.Employee
                   orderby Employee.LastName
                   select Employee;
