EntityConfiguration and EntityConfiguration<TClass> are used for setting up mapping of properties and primary keys, configuring associations, and creating inheritances, and for specifying tables the entities are mapped to. EntityConfiguration and EntityConfiguration<TClass> instances are created by Entity methods of the FluentMappingBuilder class.

This section describes how to use these classes to configure entity mapping.
