Advice

Here's a basic example from the official .NET documentation for a many-to-many relationship using EF and .NET:

public class Post
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public List<Tag> Tags { get; } = [];
}

public class Tag
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public List<Post> Posts { get; } = [];
}

The Tags and Posts do not have a set. The join table only exists in the database, and there is, supposedly, no need to create an entity.

My question is: how do I set the value?

Thanks

What do you mean by "how do I set the value?" Which value? And by "set" do you mean a DbSet<Post> and DbSet<Tag>?

Yes, how do I set the value of public List Tags { get; } = []; and public List Posts { get; } = []; while those two do not have the set; There is something I don't get in the .net example in the documentation
