Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing EF Core's materialization path and dependency-injection behavior for POCO constructors and properties. Done means establishing whether the Person/DataContext constructor or property-injection examples are supported and defining the required behavior.

Description

area-o/c-mapping

Hello EF Development team.
I have a question about dependency injection.
Does EF looking for dependencies when materializing object from database in this manner ?

public class Person 
{

   public Person(DataContext context)
   {
    ....
   }

   // or maybe like this
   [Dependency]
   public DataContext Context {get;set;}
}

After loading and materializing from database DataContext(DataContext is inherited from DbContext) must injected in constructor.

Anything like this is possible now ?
