In my last article "Getting started with ADO.NET Entity Framework in .NET 3.5", we have done select and add operations, now let us extend with update and delete operations.
Now I have added there textboxes fro employee ID, name and title as follows. (you can find it with attached project)
![]()
Update:
There is no change in Data layer
In the business layer add the UpdateEmployee method
public string UpdateEmployee(Payroll.Entities.Employee e1)
{
PayrollDAO payrollDAO = new PayrollDAO();
try
{
Employee e2 = null;
e2 = (from emp in payrollDAO.Employee
where emp.EmployeeID == e1.EmployeeID
select emp).First();
e2.Name = e1.Name;
e2.Title = e1.Title;
payrollDAO.SaveChanges();
}
catch
{
return "ERROR";
}
return "SUCCESS";
}
In the Presentation layer, add the following code in update button click
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
EmployeeService es = new EmployeeService();
DateTime dt = new DateTime(2008, 12, 12);
Payroll.Entities.Employee e1 = Payroll.Entities.Employee.CreateEmployee(Convert.ToInt32(empID.Text), empName.Text, empTitle.Text, dt, "M", "M", dt);
Result.Text = es.UpdateEmployee(e1);
GridView1.DataSource = es.GetEmployee();
GridView1.DataBind();
}
Delete:
There is no change in Data layer
In the business layer add the DeleteEmployee method
public string DeleteEmployee(Payroll.Entities.Employee e1)
{
try
{
PayrollDAO payrollDAO = new PayrollDAO();
Employee e2 = (from emp in payrollDAO.Employee
where emp.EmployeeID == e1.EmployeeID
select emp).First();
payrollDAO.DeleteObject(e2);
payrollDAO.SaveChanges();
}
catch
{
return "ERROR";
}
return "SUCCESS";
}
In the Presentation layer, add the following code in delete button click
protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
EmployeeService es = new EmployeeService();
DateTime dt = new DateTime(2008, 12, 12);
Payroll.Entities.Employee e1 = Payroll.Entities.Employee.CreateEmployee(Convert.ToInt32(empID.Text), "", "", dt, "M", "M", dt);
Result.Text = es.DeleteEmployee(e1);
GridView1.DataSource = es.GetEmployee();
GridView1.DataBind();
}
Now our CRUD operations are over, in next article we will try to include more tables with relationships.
Aah! Another bug! Well, it's the life.
