When setting up a new Entity data Model, there is an option to
[x] Pluralize or singularize generated object names
I have noticed this is an option in LINQ as well. Also, now that I am studying the ADO.NET entity framework, I noticed it also has 'DEFAULT' to 'pluralize or singularize generated object names'
What is the result of not checking/allowing this option when setting up the 'Entity Data Model'.
What Advantages/Disadvantages/issues will I face by making a selection one way or the other?
回答1:
No problem at all, except that you'll probably want to do it manually. Usually, you want entity names singular and entity set names plural.
回答2:
If you check Pluralize or singularize generated object names, the set in the class context.cs genrated by EF will be named in the format:
public virtual DbSet<SomeTableName> SomeTableNames { get; set; }
if not check, it'll be named:
public virtual DbSet<SomeTableName> SomeTableName { get; set; }
Advantages/Disadvantages IMHO:
I would like to see collection set be named ending with 's', such as dbset colleciton of Employee class of Employee Table named Employees, so I'll check the option. But I guess maybe someone would like to treat the dbset as a table, so he/she would like to name it same as table name Employee.
