How to Add Update Delete using entity framework

I am providing you the solution of your question. Using entity framework and repository pattern

First create a demo database and create table RegistrationForm

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[RegistrationForm](
          [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
          [FName] [varchar](50) NULL,
          [MName] [varchar](50) NULL,
          [LName] [varchar](50) NULL,
          [Dob] [datetime] NOT NULL,
          [Mobile] [nchar](10) NULL,
          [City] [varchar](50) NULL,
          [Pin] [varchar](50) NULL,
          [Address] [varchar](250) NULL,
)

And CountryList table and Insert record


CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CountryList](
          [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
          [Country] [varchar](50) NULL,
)

Then create a new project and right click on model folder and select ado.net entity data model

And then And next and give sever and user name and password and select your database .Then your entity framework will be generated. It will look like this

For data annotation we have to add another class in model we cannot add data annotation in generated models class because when we update our entity framework our important validation will be loss to recover from this problem we will create meta class in the models folder.

And add following code

using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using
System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using
System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;
 
namespace TestSol.Models
{
    public class RegistrationFormMeta
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
 
        [Required(ErrorMessage="First Name
is require!!")]
        public string FName { get; set; }
 
        public string MName { get; set; }
        public string LName { get; set; }
        public DateTime Dob { get; set; }
        public string Mobile { get; set; }
        public string City { get; set; } 
           
       [Required(ErrorMessage="pin is
require!!")]
       [RegularExpression("^[0-9]{6}$" , ErrorMessage = "Pin must be
Numeric and <=6")]
        public string Pin { get; set; }
 
        public string Address { get; set; }
    }
    public class CountryListMeta
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Country { get; set; }
    }
}

Meta classes contain all the validation attribute to associate this class to metadata add a class in the models folder and name it Partial

using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
 
namespace TestSol.Models
{
    [MetadataType(typeof(RegistrationFormMeta))]
    public partial class RegistrationForm
    {
    }
    [MetadataType(typeof(CountryListMeta))]
    public partial class CountryList
    {
    }
}

Now I will use repository design pattern for all the curd operation. In repository we move all data access code into one place. Now I will create IRepository class in the models folder

using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using TestSol.Models;
 
namespace TestSol.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);
    }
}

This is an interface so for implementation we will create a class in the models folder and will implement this interface into that

using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using TestSol.Models;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Data;
 
 
namespace TestSol.Models
{
    public class Repository<T>:IRepository<T> where T:class
    {
        private DemoEntities db = null;
        private DbSet<T> table = null;
         public Repository()
        {
            this.db = new DemoEntities();
            table = db.Set<T>();
        }
 
         public Repository(DemoEntities 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();
            
        }
 
    }
}

Add a new class in the models folder for setting the property for repository

using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
 
namespace TestSol.Models
{
    public class DML
    {
        public IRepository<RegistrationForm>
RegistrationForm
        {
            get
            {
                return new Repository<RegistrationForm>();
            }
        }
        public IRepository<CountryList> CountryList
        {
            get
            {
                return new Repository<CountryList>();
            }
        }
    }
}

Now we will create unit of work for working with all the model classes.

using TestSol.Models;
using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
 
namespace TestSol.Controllers
{
    public class BaseController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Base/
 
        protected DML Uow { get; set; }
        private DemoEntities db = null;
        public BaseController()
        {
 
            Uow = new DML();
        }
 
    }
}

Now add a home controller and inherit base controller in it. In the home controller I have create add, edit, delete and Update action

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using TestSol.Models;
 
namespace TestSol.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : BaseController
    {
        //
        // GET: /Home/
 
        public ActionResult index()
        {
 
            ViewBag.Users =
Uow.RegistrationForm.SelectAll();
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult Add()
        {
            ViewBag.Country =
Uow.CountryList.SelectAll();
            return PartialView();
        }
 
        [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
        public ActionResult Add(RegistrationForm model)
        {      
 
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                if (model.Id ==0)
                {
                   
Uow.RegistrationForm.Insert(model);
 
                }
                else
                {
                    var data =
Uow.RegistrationForm.SelectByID(model.Id);
                    if (data == null)
                        Uow.RegistrationForm.Insert(model);
                    else
                       
Uow.RegistrationForm.Update(model);
                }
            }
            ViewBag.Users =
Uow.RegistrationForm.SelectAll();
            return PartialView("List");
 
        }
 
        public ActionResult Edit(int id)
        {
            ViewBag.Country =
Uow.CountryList.SelectAll();
            return PartialView("Add",
Uow.RegistrationForm.SelectByID(id));
        }
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Delete(int id)
        {
            Uow.RegistrationForm.Delete(id);
            ViewBag.users =
Uow.RegistrationForm.SelectAll();
            return PartialView("List");          
 
        }
 
        public ActionResult GetUser(string d)
        {
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(d.Trim()))
                ViewBag.Users =
Uow.RegistrationForm.SelectAll().Where(x => d.Contains(x.FName) ||
d.Contains(x.LName) || d.Contains(x.Dob.ToString()) ||
d.Contains(x.City)).ToList();
            else
                ViewBag.Users =
Uow.RegistrationForm.SelectAll().ToList();
               return PartialView("List");
        }
        public ActionResult GetRecord()
        {
            ViewBag.Users =
Uow.RegistrationForm.SelectAll();
            return PartialView("UserList");
        }
 
 
 
    }
}

Our index view code in this I have added bootstrap library for better look and ajax validation

@{
    Layout = null;
}

When we run our program it will look like this. From search text box we can filter our records.

When we click add then it will open in modal pop up it will look like this and it is from Add Partial View
