I believe that EF 7 done away with the model database first and left only code first model. I understand your suggestion of not wasting time of writing a bunch of code but rather have a tool to do it for you. I will look for the 3P tool to generate such code. But my question was more academic, is such a classes.cs with all classes "matching" my tables required for EF?
Thank you.
