CRUD operations using ASP.NET Core 2.0 and In-memory database with Entity Framework

In this article, we will create a Web API with in-memory database using Entity Framework and ASP.NET Core 2.0 without any theoretical explanation. To know more on concepts and theory, my previous articles can be referred. Let’s quickly create a new ASP.NET Core application by choosing API template and name it as ConferencePlanner. Add a new Model entity named Workshop inside a newly add Models folder as shown below: public class Workshop {     public int Id { get ; set ; }     public string Name { get ; set ; }     public string Speaker { get ; set ; } } Here we are going to use in-memory class along with EF.

In other words, as soon as C# code is modified and saved, the watcher will see those changes and re-compiles the code without a need to close the running application .
