Getting Started on Full .NET (Console, WinForms, WPF, etc.)¶
These 101 tutorials require no previous knowledge of Entity Framework (EF) or Visual Studio. They will take you step-by-step through creating a simple application that queries and saves data from a database.
Entity Framework can create a model based on an existing database, or create a database for you based on your model. The following tutorials will demonstrate both of these approaches using a Console Application. You can use the techniques learned in these tutorials in any application that targets Full .NET, including WPF and WinForms.
