Select and Insert Data With Reverse Engineering Via EDM Framework

Introduction

 

Today, in this article let's play around with one of the interesting and most useful concepts in EDM Framework.

 

Question: What is select data with reverse engineering via EDM framework?

 

In simple terms "It provides flexibility to pull out the data using a reverse engineering mechanism via EDM framework".

 

Step 1: Create a new web application:

Step 2: Set up a new EDM framework with reverse engineering for the project:

Step 3: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx looks like this:

 

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="ReverseEnggApp.WebForm1" %>
