What's the difference EntitiesModel OpenAccessContext

[John]

Hi

I have just started with data access. I used the wizard to create a model from my database and have successfully read data from the database.

I'm a little confused I'm using  the generated context 'DbContext : OpenAccessContext, IDbContextUnitOfWork' to get the data.

I am looking at some other examples and they use EntitiesModel context = new EntitiesModel().

What is the difference and which should be used?

Thanks

John

Hi John,

Thank you for your interest in Telerik Data Access.

EntitiesModel is the name of the context, provided by default from the New Domain Model wizard when the model is generated. DbContext will be the name of your context class, if you had specified it in the Model Name textbox on the Select Domain Model Type page of the wizard. The documentation of Data Access by design demonstrates code snippets with the default name of the context class, which is the reason why you see this name so often. The point behind this decision is that this way the scenarios are quickly and easily reproducible on your side.

I hope this helps. Do let us know, if you need further information or assistance.

Ah yes thank you, that's makes sense I think I was following one of the getting started video's and they named it DbContext.

Thanks
