Hi
Don't ask why but I have multiple tables with the same schema (existing database, I can't change this). Then I want select in comboBox or listBox the table and then get data.
Table01
Table02
Table03

C++

var result = context.Table01.Select(p => p);

Can I somehow replace Table01 with Table02 to not make multiple queries depends on comboBox selection?

1. Entity Framework code first / database first ?
2. Are you trying to apply same query to same schema tables ?

Solution 1

What you are trying might not be easy if not impossible. Because for entity framework, 2 different entities(and so 2 different tables) are 2 different things and are not replaceable. And why do you even want to replace it. Just to write less code ?

IF you will have 70 databases, and inside this databases you will have multiple tables you probably ask also about possibility :)

I used to use simple command, reader and I could change table or database in query. But right now because of stupidity of database creator I have a lot of work. If I want to change something in linq query I have to change this in all queries.
