LINQ to SQL to Entity Framework Core Migration Overview Migrates .NET Framework projects from LINQ to SQL (System.Data.Linq) to Entity Framework Core. LINQ to SQL is not available in .NET 6+ — this is a migration blocker, not an optional improvement. Reference files for detailed patterns: - ref/entity-mapping-conversion.md — DBML/attribute mapping to EF Core - ref/datacontext-to-dbcontext.md — DataContext lifecycle and API migration - ref/query-translation-gotchas.md — Query behavior differences (critical for runtime correctness) - ref/stored-procedure-migration.md — SP/function mapping - ref/concurrency-and-change-tracking.md — UpdateCheck/conflict resolution - ref/relationship-migration.md — EntitySet/EntityRef to navigation properties Prerequisites Verify LINQ to SQL usage before proceeding: 1. Check for System.Data.Linq assembly reference in the project file 2. Search for .dbml files in the project directory 3. Search for using System.Data.Linq in code files If none found, skip thi
