实体框架不会为多对多表创建模型实体

Question

I have 3 tables: Job , Schedules and job_schedules which is the connection table, holding job_id and schedule_id for many to many connection. I currently use Entity Framework for importing the tables and creating the data model. The issue i'm facing is that when I import the job_schedules table, only a connection between job and schedules is made, no entity is defined in the model. How can I make the import create an entity in the model not just a many to many connection between the two tables?

I'm quite sure you can add the DbSet to your DataContext manualy. You'll need the model itself:

[Table("tableName")]    
public class JobSchedule()
    {
        //yourproperties with [Column("Name")] atribute
    }

And the reference in the DbContext:

DbSet<JobSchedule> JobSchedules = new DbSet<JobSchedule>()

And my advice is to use Migrations in the future, and the workflow will be much easier.
