        protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
        {
            var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                       .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true);

            var configuration = builder.Build();

        public virtual DbSet<Categories> Categories { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<Products> Products { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<Orders> Orders { get; set; }
        public virtual DbSet<Order_Details> Order_Details { get; set; }



    }

but when I try to run an exception occurred

System.InvalidOperationException: 'The entity type 'Categories' requires a primary key to be defined.'

I don't understand whats going wrong.

please help

UPDATE 1 Bellow is the Categories Model

public class Categories
    {
        [Key]
        public int CategoryID { get; set; }
        public string CategoryName { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public byte Picture { get; set; }  

    }

I already have the database created in MySql.

UPDATE 2

 public class Categories
    {
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)]        
        public int CategoryID { get; set; }
        public string CategoryName { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public byte Picture { get; set; }


    }

UPDATE 3

public class Categories
    {
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)]
        [Key]
        public int CategoryID { get; set; }
        public string CategoryName { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public byte Picture { get; set; }
    }

The entity type 'Categories' requires a primary key to be defined.

Entity Framework requires a primary key to work. There are two ways to do this (that I know of).

For example

//Data Annotations
public class EmployeeEntity : BaseEntity
{
    // Denotes the primary key column
    [Key]
    // Add this if your column is not auto-generated
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)]
    public short Id { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    // more fields, probably
}

// Fluent API
public partial class EmployeeMap : EntityTypeConfiguration<EmployeeEntity>
{
    public EmployeeMap()
    {
        ToTable("employee");
        HasKey(emp => emp.Id)
          .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None);
    }
}

Note that if your Primary Key is not auto-generated, you need to tell EF using whichever method you chose.

Annotation: [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None)]
Fluent: HasKey(emp => emp.Id).HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.None);
