Out of curiosity, is there a reason we need to list the design-time services? We don't seem to list the non-design-time services anywhere, and I'm not sure why users need this...

bricelam commented 2 years ago

Listed here mostly to let users know they exist as extensibility points and can be reused to create custom design-time tools. (More do this than you’d expect.)

bricelam commented 2 years ago

I also think these are different than runtime services since there isn’t exactly a public API for them that enables the common scenarios

Also document how to override CSharpHelper.ShouldUseFullName, see https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/pull/25605/files
