Normally, when you think of Entity Framework Code First, you think that you have to generate all of your POCO classes completely by hand!
Fortunately, though, a clever developer has created the Entity Framework Reverse POCO Generator! https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/ee4fcff9-0c4c-4179-afd9-7a2fb90f5838
If you are using Visual Studio 2013, you will also need to install the Entity Framework 6 Tools for Visual Studio 2013 from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40762
This Visual Studio extension allows you to generate Entity Framework Code First POCO classes directly from your database!
Unfortunately, all of the POCO classes are generated into a single class file, but you can then use a tool such as Resharper to extract the classes into separate C# files and then customize the generated POCO classes to ensure they match the design requirements of your system!
How neat is that??
