I have found the solution on my own: (context.GetService<IDatabaseCreator>() as RelationalDatabaseCreator).Exists() It works for EF 7.0.0-rc1-final version for SqlServer UPDATE: Entity Framework Core 2.0: (context.Database.GetService<IDatabaseCreator>() as RelationalDatabaseCreator).Exists()
It’s waiting to be implemented. See issues #629 & #4526. Update: according to comments below (unverified) – this feature is finally slated for release in .NET Core 2.1!
You can use the keyword ThenInclude instead e.g. var company = context.Companies .Include(co => co.Employees).ThenInclude(emp => emp.Employee_Car) .Include(co => co.Employees).ThenInclude(emp => emp.Employee_Country) .FirstOrDefault(co => co.companyID == companyID);
Use command line, Cmd or PowerShell for specific version: dotnet tool update –global dotnet-ef –version 3.1.0 or for latest version use (works also for reinstallation): dotnet tool update –global dotnet-ef
