Improving MVC applications
Granted, most of us who will be writing applications for .NET Core will be writing web applications. This is not only because there aren't really any other application frameworks for .NET Core–no Windows Forms or WPF–but because web applications seem to have taken over. So, it pays to know how to integrate Entity Framework Core with web apps.
We will be looking at the following:
Registering and injecting data contexts into MVC controllers, view components, and views
Passing additional configuration to the data context
Getting ready
We will be using the NuGet Package Manager to install the Entity Framework Core 1 package, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore. We will also be using a SQL Server database to store the data, so we will also need Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer.
Since we will be working with web applications, we will need to add the appropriate packages: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel, and Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration...
