Adding ADO.Net Entity Framework gives “The project’s target framework does not contain Entity Framework runtime assemblies”

by

I know that almost all the other answers recommends to change the target framework, but some users (including me) needs to use .NET 6.0 instead of .NET Framework, so that solution its not valid for us.

I was able to create the models by using Paul Sinnema’s link and using SQL authentication instead of Windows Auth (in my case):

You will need to install the following packages from NuGet:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools

Afted that run the following command in the Package Manager Console:
(Tools>Nuget Package Manager>Package Manager Console)

PM> Scaffold-DbContext "Server=.\LOCAL_SERVER;User ID=YOUR_DB_USER;Password=YOUR_DB_PASSWORD;Database=YOUR_DATABASE;Trusted_Connection=False;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer -OutputDir Models
