    Hi,

    I'm subclassing a DbContext whose base class has a DbSet<tentity> property.
    I want to configure my model to completely ignore that property, not generating a DB table for it at all. Is there a way to achieve that?

    Here's what I've tried:

    • Adding this to the OnModelBuilder of the sub class:
      builder.Model.RemoveEntityType(builder.Entity<IdentityUserLogin<TKey>>().Metadata);
      builder.Ignore<IdentityUserLogin<TKey>>();
    • Shadowing the DbSet property with a new DbSet property of a different type (public new DbSet<tnewentity> { get; set; })

    Hi Shimmy,

    According to your description, I think you want to ignore DbSet property of BdContext base class, and not generating a DB table for it at all. So, I think you could use Ignore method to accomplish it. I create the sample, code shown below:

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
  modelBuilder.Ignore<Category>();
  modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new ShippingAddressMap());
}

    For more information, please refer to the following links:

    I hope this will help you.

    Best Regards,
