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 Inventory schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

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

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

Zoho InventoryContext ents = new Zoho InventoryContext();
var ContactsQuery = from Contacts in ents.Contacts
                   orderby Contacts.CustomerName
                   select Contacts;
