The article discusses the challenges of using the Entity Framework (EF) Core Database First approach in ASP.NET 8, particularly the issue of generated EF classes being overwritten during model regeneration. It demonstrates the use of partial C# classes as a solution, allowing developers to extend functionality without losing their custom modifications. This approach is crucial in applications that share a SQL Server database across different technologies, ensuring the integrity of additional application logic while facilitating schema updates.
In EF 8, generating classes directly from the database can lead to loss of customizations when the model is regenerated; partial classes offer a solution to this issue.
Using partial C# classes allows for additional functionality to be added to EF entities without losing changes upon model regeneration, essential for maintaining custom logic.
