  Starting with the Entity Framework 4.1 you can also create a model programmatically using Code First development. There are two different scenarios for Code First development. In both cases, the developer defines a model by coding .NET Framework class definitions, and then optionally specifies additional mapping or configuration by using Data Annotations or the fluent API.

  The Entity Framework gives life to models by enabling developers to query entities and relationships in the domain model (called a *conceptual* model in the Entity Framework) while relying on the Entity Framework to translate those operations to data source–specific commands. This frees applications from hard-coded dependencies on a particular data source.
 
- When working with Code First, the conceptual model is mapped to the storage model in code. The Entity Framework can infer the conceptual model based on the object types and additional configurations that you define. The mapping metadata is generated during run time based on a combination of how you defined your domain types and additional configuration information that you provide in code. Entity Framework generates the database as needed based on the metadata. For more information, see [Creating and Mapping a Conceptual Model](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=235382).

 #### Secure the connection string.  
  Protecting access to your data source is one of the most important goals when securing an application. A connection string presents a potential vulnerability if it is not secured or if it is improperly constructed. When you store connection information in plain text or persist it in memory, you risk compromising your entire system. The following are the recommended methods for securing connection strings:
