Use Microsoft.Data.SqlClient classes with Entity Framework Core

In the previous article we learned to execute stored procedures using SqlCommand and SqlParameter classes. In the examples we developed so far, we used data provider classes directly for all the operations. We didn't use Entity Framework Core at all. What if your application wants to use EF Core? Can we use EF Core and plain data provider objects hand-in-hand? That's what we are going to discuss in this article.
