Question: How to "Add a new data source" in a WPF Core application?
I performed:
- Created a WPF Core application;
- Added the class CntDBSchool;
- Added the class Student;
- Menu Project //" Add a new data source ";
- Result: there is no class Student;

Class CntDBSchool.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
namespace WpfApp.Models
{
class CntDBSchool: DbContext
{
public virtual DbSet <Student> Student {get; set; }
}
}
Class Student.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace WpfApp.Models
{
class Student
{
public int StudentID {get; set; }
public string StudentName {get; set; }
public Nullable <int> StandardId {get; set; }
public byte [] RowVersion {get; set; }
}
}
Table Student.
CREATE TABLE [dbo]. [Student] (
[StudentID] int IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL,
[StudentName] varchar (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AI NULL,
[StandardId] int NULL,
[RowVersion] timestamp NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Student] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([StudentID])
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)
ON [PRIMARY],
CONSTRAINT [FK_Student_Standard] FOREIGN KEY ([StandardId]) REFERENCES [dbo]. [Standard] ([StandardId]) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE NO ACTION
)
ON [PRIMARY]
When I do the same in the WPF Framework application, the Student class is present in the Add New Data Source window.
I do:
- Created a WPF Framework application;
- Created Model ADO.NET EDM;
- In the file DBModel.tt replaced:
- - line - 296 replaced ICollection withObservableCollection;
- - line - 484 replaced ICollection withObservableCollection;
- - line - 51 replaced HashSet withObservableCollection;
- - lines - 431 replaced System.Collections.Generic withSystem.Collections.ObjectModel;
- Menu Project //" Add a new data source ";
- Result: the class Student is present;


Ran into this today too. Adding A datasource with a WPF Framework application works but adding a datasource with WPF Core application doesn't work. I found that someone submitted an issue back in July of 19' https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/1196. They racked it up to not all features work with core.
