Pull request overview
Adds a new “What’s New” documentation section for EF Core 11 describing the ability to configure complex type properties by using chained member access directly in the Property(...) lambda, including a nested complex type example.
Changes:
- Document the previous
ComplexProperty(...).Property(...)configuration pattern. - Document the new shorter
Property(e => e.Complex.Prop)configuration pattern. - Add an additional example demonstrating nested complex types.
