Let’s assume you want to register a demo for a application ( Desktop or Web).

You do arrange the database and you make some repetition before. However, the database must be re-arranged the next time you will make the demo.

For this case you can use EF 6 Record and play – it will make a .zip file with containing resultsets and you can make indefinitely the repetition of the demo – without the real database.

 

Let’s see in action here

 

 

The code is simple 

 Database.SetInitializer<ContextForDatabase>(null);
            #region set record EF
            record = new InterceptionRecordOrPlay(@"DemoEmployeeAndDepartment.zip", ModeInterception.Play);

            DbInterception.Add(record);
            #endregion
