LogShadowProperties(IModel, IDiagnosticsLogger<DbLoggerCategory.Model.Validation>)	Logs all shadow properties that were created because there was no matching CLR member.
ThrowPropertyNotMappedException(String, IConventionEntityType, IConventionProperty)	Throws an InvalidOperationException with a message containing provider-specific information, when available, indicating possible reasons why the property cannot be mapped.
ThrowPropertyNotMappedException(String, IConventionTypeBase, IConventionProperty)	Throws an InvalidOperationException with a message containing provider-specific information, when available, indicating possible reasons why the property cannot be mapped.
