Sure, here is an example of how to perform CRUD operations in ASP.NET MVC using data annotation with Entity Framework:

Create

C#

public class Product
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public decimal Price { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string Category { get; set; }

    [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
    public DateTime ExpirationDate { get; set; }
}

C#

public class ProductController : Controller
{
    private readonly ProductContext _context;

    public ProductController(ProductContext context)
    {
        _context = context;
    }

    [HttpPost]
    [Route("api/products")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> CreateProduct([FromBody] Product product)
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            return BadRequest(ModelState);
        }

        _context.Products.Add(product);
        await _context.SaveChangesAsync();

        return Ok(product);
    }
}

Read

C#

public class ProductController : Controller
{
    private readonly ProductContext _context;

    public ProductController(ProductContext context)
    {
        _context = context;
    }

    [HttpGet]
    [Route("api/products")]
    public async Task<IEnumerable<Product>> GetProducts()
    {
        return await _context.Products.ToListAsync();
    }
}

Update

C#

public class ProductController : Controller
{
    private readonly ProductContext _context;

    public ProductController(ProductContext context)
    {
        _context = context;
    }

    [HttpPut]
    [Route("api/products/{id}")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> UpdateProduct(int id, [FromBody] Product product)
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            return BadRequest(ModelState);
        }

        product.ID = id;
        _context.Products.Update(product);
        await _context.SaveChangesAsync();

        return Ok(product);
    }
}

Delete

C#

public class ProductController : Controller
{
    private readonly ProductContext _context;

    public ProductController(ProductContext context)
    {
        _context = context;
    }

    [HttpDelete]
    [Route("api/products/{id}")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> DeleteProduct(int id)
    {
        Product product = await _context.Products.FindAsync(id);
        if (product == null)
        {
            return NotFound();
        }

        _context.Products.Remove(product);
        await _context.SaveChangesAsync();

        return Ok();
    }
}

This is just a basic example, and you may need to add additional code to handle validation, error handling, and other scenarios. However, this should give you a good starting point for performing CRUD operations in ASP.NET MVC using data annotation with Entity Framework.

here i am giving code for crud operation in mvc using data annotation with entity framework . i hope this will help to you.

First Create a database and table

Manish Kumar

Adding the validation attributes

directly to the model class works when you do not expect the database to

change; however, if your database changes and you need to regenerate the model

class, you will lose all of the attributes you had applied to the model class.

This approach can be very inefficient and prone to losing important validation

rules.

To avoid this problem, you can 

add a metadata class that contains the attributes. When you associate the model

class to the metadata class, those attributes are applied to the model. In this

approach, the model class can be regenerated without losing all of the

attributes that have been applied to the metadata class.In the Models folder,

add a class named Metadata.cs.

using System;



using
 System.Collections.Generic;



using System.Linq;



using System.Web;



using
 System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;



namespace Demo.Models



{



    public class EmpDetailMetaData



    {



        [Required(ErrorMessage = "UserName
 Name is required")]



        public string UserName { get; set; }



        [Required(ErrorMessage = "FName Name
 is required")]



        public string FName { get; set; }



        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Email is
 required")]



        public string Email { get; set; }



        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Mobile is
 required")]



        public string Mobile { get; set; }



    }



}

These metadata classes contain all of the validation attributes that you had previously applied to the model classes. The Display attribute is used to change the value used for text labels. 

Now, you must associate the model classes with the metadata classes.In the Models folder,

add a class named PartialClass.cs.

using System;

using
 System.Collections.Generic;



using System.Linq;



using System.Web;



using
 System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;



namespace Demo.Models



{ 



        [MetadataType(typeof(EmpDetailMetaData))]



        public partial class EmpDetail



        {



        } 



}

Implement a Generic Repository and a Unit of Work Class 

Creating a repository class for

each entity type could result in a lot of redundant code, and it could result

in partial updates. For example, suppose you have to update two different

entity types as part of the same transaction. If each uses a separate database

context instance, one might succeed and the other might fail. One way to

minimize redundant code is to use a generic repository, and one way to ensure

that all repositories use the same database context (and thus coordinate all updates)

is to use a unit of work class.

In this section of the tutorial, you'll create a GenericRepository class

and a UnitOfWork class, and use them in the Course controller

to access both the Department and the Course entity sets. As explained earlier, to keep this part

of the tutorial simple, you aren't creating interfaces for these classes. But

if you were going to use them to facilitate TDD, you'd typically implement them

with interfaces the same way you did the Student repository.

Create and emty project  

And for generic repository

In the Models Folder add a class

IRepository 


using System;



using System.Collections.Generic;



using System.Linq;



using System.Web;



using Demo.Models;







namespace Demo.Models



{



    public interface IRepository<T> where T : class







    {



        IEnumerable<T> SelectAll();



        T SelectByID(object id);



        void Insert(T obj);



        void Update(T obj);



        void Delete(object Id);



    }



}

And

add another class Repository and inherit IRepository

using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using Demo.Models;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Data;
namespace Demo.Models
{
    public class Reposiroty<T> : IRepository<T> where T : class
    {
        private Entities db = null;
        private DbSet<T> table = null;
        public Reposiroty()
        {
            this.db = new Entities();
            table = db.Set<T>();
        }
        public Reposiroty(Entities db)
        {
            this.db = db;
            table = db.Set<T>();
        }
        public IEnumerable<T> SelectAll()
        {
            return table.ToList();
        }
        public T SelectByID(object id)
        {
            return table.Find(id);
        }
        public void Insert(T obj)
        {
            table.Add(obj);
            db.SaveChanges();
        }
        public void Update(T obj)
        {
            table.Attach(obj);
            db.Entry(obj).State = EntityState.Modified;
            db.SaveChanges();
        }
        public void Delete(object Id)
        {
            T existing = table.Find(Id);
            table.Remove(existing);
            db.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}

For working with unit of Work

Add base controller in

Controllers Folder

using Demo.Models;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace Demo.Controllers
{
    public class BaseController : Controller
    {
        protected DMLRepository Uow { get; set; }
        private Entities db = null;
        public BaseController()
        {
            Uow = new DMLRepository();
        }
    }
}

And then Add home Controller

in Cotrollers Folder for all operation and inherit base controller in it

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Demo.Models;
namespace Demo.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : BaseController
    {
       public ActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewBag.Users =
Uow.EmpDetail.SelectAll();
            return View();
        }
    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
        public ActionResult Index(EmpDetail model)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                if (model.Id == 0)
                {
                    Uow.EmpDetail.Insert(model);
                }
                else
                {
                    var data = Uow.EmpDetail.SelectByID(model.Id);
                    if (data == null)
                     Uow.EmpDetail.Insert(model);
                    else
                    Uow.EmpDetail.Update(model);
                }
            }
                ViewBag.Users =Uow.EmpDetail.SelectAll();
                return PartialView("UserList");
      }
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Delete(int Id)
        {
            Uow.EmpDetail.Delete(Id);
            ViewBag.Users = Uow.EmpDetail.SelectAll();
            return PartialView("UserList");
        }
        public ActionResult Edit(int Id)
        {
            var data = Uow.EmpDetail.SelectByID(Id);
            return Json(data, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
    }
}

And add view index

@model
Demo.Models.EmpDetail
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-validation-unobtrusive/3.2.2/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js"></script>
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("index", "Home", new AjaxOptions
{
    HttpMethod = "POST",
    UpdateTargetId = "target",
    OnSuccess = "updateSuccess"
}))
{
        <center><h2>Registration Form</h2></center>
     @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
        <hr />
       <div>
            <center> <table border="0" width="70%" cellspadding="0" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
             <td><label id="label1">User Name</label>
                @Html.HiddenFor(x => x.Id, new {@Value=0 })
            </td>
              <td>@Html.TextBoxFor(x =>x.UserName)
                  @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m=> m.UserName)
              </td>
            <td><label id="label2">Father Name</label></td>
              <td>@Html.TextBoxFor(x =>x.FName)
                  @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m=> m.FName)
              </td>
        </tr>
       <tr>
            <td><label id="label3">Email</label></td>
              <td>@Html.TextBoxFor(x =>x.Email)
                  @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m=> m.Email)
              </td>
            <td><label id="label4">Mobile</label></td>
              <td>@Html.TextBoxFor(x =>x.Mobile)
                  @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m=> m.Mobile)
              </td>
        </tr>
       <tr>
         <td colspan="2"> <br /> <center>
               <input type="submit" value="Submit" /></center>
           </td>
       </tr>
    </table></center>
        </div>
}
   <div id="target">
    @Html.Partial("UserList");
    </div>
<script>
    function updateSuccess(data)
    {
        $('form')[0].reset();
    }
</script>

And partial view

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="width: 60%; margin-left: 20%">
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Emailid</th>
            </tr>
            @foreach (var d in ViewBag.Users as List<Demo.Models.EmpDetail>)
            {
                <tr>
                    <td>@d.UserName</td>
                    <td>@d.Email</td>
                    <td>
                 @Ajax.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit",new{Id=d.Id},
                 new AjaxOptions
                 {
                     InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
                     HttpMethod = "GET",
                     OnSuccess = "filldata"//
<-- HTTP method
                 }) |
                 @Ajax.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete",new{Id=d.Id},
                 new AjaxOptions
                 {
                     UpdateTargetId = "target",
                     InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
                     HttpMethod = "POST"
                 })
                    </td>
                </tr>
            }
        </table>
    <script>
        function filldata(data) {
        $('#UserName').val(data.UserName);
        $('#Id').val(data.Id);
        $('#FName').val(data.FName);
        $('#Email').val(data.Email);
        $('#Mobile').val(data.Mobile);
