Here we are going to discuss about New Features of Entity Framework 7

Lightweight and Extensible:

In entity Framework 7 You can use only that extensions which are useful to your project. But the  concepts are same as EF also use DbContext/DbSet same way as you are currently using. The advantage of extensible is you can replace and extend it.

New Data Stores:

Before Entity Framework 7 data’s are  tied with relational data stores. EF provide great support to non relational data stores also. Relational & non Relational, like Azure table storage.

Unique Constraints:

EF 7 allows you to identify additional unique keys within your entities in addition to the primary key. You can use these alternate keys as the target of foreign key relationships. A unique constraint is introduced for each alternate key in the model.


New Platforms:

Many Technologies supported in Entity framework version 7. Such as ASP.NET ,Win Forms, WPF and also includes Windows Store and Cloud Optimized Dot Net Framework.

Shadow Properties:

 Shadow properties are properties that do not exist in entity class, but within the class this is also one of the part . The value and state of these properties is maintained in the Change Tracker. These properties can participate in all database operations, but should not be exposed via entity class to the rest of the application. Currently you can declare shadow properties using fluent API only.
