Introduction

This article shows how to update data using the Code First approach.

Create an ASP.Net web application as in the following:

Employee.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;
namespace Insert_Data___Code_Frist_Approach
{
public class Employee
{
public Employee()
{
}
[Key]
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
}

Employeecontext.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace Insert_Data___Code_Frist_Approach
{
public class EmployeeContext : DbContext
{
public EmployeeContext()
: base("EmployeeConn")
{
Database.SetInitializer<EmployeeContext>(new CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<EmployeeContext>());
}
public DbSet<Employee> Employees { get; set; }
}
}

Web.config

<connectionStrings>
<add name="EmployeeConn"
connectionString="Data Source=WIN-B4KJ8JI75VF;Initial Catalog=EmployeeDB;Integrated Security=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
