I've included the reference source of System.Web.DynamicData & System.Web.Entity, but probably a port is not straightforward, since parts use Linq to SQL and old EntityFramework (Not even EF6). The EF code would need to be updated to EF Core, since EF6 only runs on old NetFX.

@simonegli8 , what about a partial migration, that doesn't bring in the Linq to SQL and EFClassic bits? DynamicData has a ton of stuff that is useful even without integrating with those ORMs at all, and I'm pretty sure most of it is abstracted behind interfaces as well.

I believe it would be 100% feasible to migrate all of DynamicData while not bringing those implementations in initially.

Then, later, one could add the required bits to interface with modern EntityFrameworkCore.

Thoughts?

I've added code for System.Web.DynamicData, and it currently fails to build with 41 Errors. If you want to look at it, if you can eliminate the errors I'd be happy. I don't have time at the moment to look at this further
