Entity Framework Sandbox

The Entity Framework Sandbox is a CLI project template that allows you to quickly spin up a functioning project running on the latest version of EF with a real database and real data.

This can be useful in the following scenario:

• Exploring new features of EF such as
• Safely exploring changes to a real application
• Replicating EF issues in an isolated environment

This is not intended to be a starting point for a production application.

Prerequisites

• VS2022
• .NET 7
• LocalDB

Setup

• Ensure the connection matches if you are using something other than local DB
• Update the Sandbox to run your own EF queries and commands

private async Task RunQueries()
{
    // NOTE: Further DB queries go here
}

private Task RunCommands()
{
    // NOTE: Further DB commands go here
}

Run

• Press F5
  • Console up will start
  • By default, DB will be dropped & re-created
  • Data will be seeded
  • SQL queries will run
  • All SQL and results output to console
