Using SqlQuery<Dictionary<string, string>> in Entity Framework 6

You can use SqlQuery to directly populate an object if the object has a default constructor and property setters. The result can then be used to create a dictionary. For example:

public class QueryResult
{
    public string A { get; set; }
    public string B { get; set; }
}

// the colulmn/alias names need to match property names
string query = "SELECT column1 AS [A], column2 AS [B] FROM ..."

using (var db = new EFDbContext())
{
    var perms = db.Database.SqlQuery<QueryResult>(query)
        .ToDictionary(r => r.A, r => r.B);
}
