Service locator is (not) an anti-pattern

I have used service locator pattern in my projects without any problems and I was quite happy with it until someone told me that is an anti-pattern. I was bit surprised and did some search on google and found many articles suggesting that it is an anti-pattern. After going through them I concluded -"that is not how I have used it".

Entities to database mapping in EntityFramework

In this post I'm going to share different ideas to map domain entities to database schema in Code First development. In all of the approaches, I'm going to derive from DbContext class and overrides its OnModelCreating method. You can still use the ideas from this post even if you're directly using DbModelBuilder to create DbContext. For the purpose of this post I'm using two classes- Product and Brand; you can find them here.
