ModelBuilder

The builder being used to construct the model for this context. Databases (and other extensions) typically define extension methods on this object that allow you to configure aspects of the model that are specific to a given database.

Remarks

If a model is explicitly set on the options for this context (via UseModel(IModel)) then this method will not be run. However, it will still run when creating a compiled model.

See Modeling entity types and relationships for more information and examples.
