How entity get mapped

<EntitySetMapping
Name="Areas">
<EntityTypeMapping
TypeName="ORMDbModel.Area"
>
Model Browser
Right click on project designer > Open Model Browser > Has three parts
Right click on City diagram > Table mapping
Lets’ see the code of Entity classes and domain classes

Go to Solution Explorer > Location.edmx> Location.Context > Location.context.cs


Method OnModelCreating
POCO (Plain Old CLR) Entity class
Let’s see what happened when database changed ?
Right click on the model and > Update Model from Database > Finish > Pincode
property get added > check Area entity class > Save model and recheck Area
entity again
