I need to make a scaffold operation to generate my Models .NET CORE with EntityFramework for local file .DBC of Visual Fox Pro 9.0. It is possible?

What’s the backstory here? (The short answer is “no, you can’t” because FoxPro was killed-off over 15 years ago and never supported essential RDBMS features that EF/EFCore depends on – the long answer is that given that some brave (or foolhardy?) soul has already attempted to build a FoxPro provider for EFCore which looks like it should work, you may-as-well give it a try github.com/tombrothers/EntityFrameworkCore.Vfp – but I’d question your sanity before you continue…)
…my sanity… I have a customer that I ask me a syncronization with old project that he needs to maintain live…so I need to found a solution!!! I have already take a look at this framework, but there is no documentation about how to use it, in particolar if I can use it for scaffold or not…
Yes you can. Try using Tom Brother’s EF provider. github.com/tombrothers/EntityFrameworkCore.Vfp
For some documentation check github.com/tombrothers/VfpEntityFrameworkProvider2 and tombrothers.wordpress.com/test. If I remember right he also had scaffolding support for his LinqToVFP project (you could do the scaffolding in code yourself too). On the other hand, you might simply use VFPOLEDB without EF. It is simple and easy.
