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 Microsoft Dynamics CRM schema.

Perform LINQ Commands in Your Code

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

using System.Linq;
using MySolutionName.Models;

DynamicsCRMContext ents = new DynamicsCRMContext();
var LeadQuery = from Lead in ents.Lead
                   orderby Lead.FirstName
                   select Lead;
