Answer the following questions:
- Which .NET data provider would you use to work with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express Edition?
- When defining a
DbContextclass, what type would you use for the property that represents a table, for example, theProductsproperty of aCategoryentity? - What is the EF convention for primary keys?
