Now in the "HomeController" write the action method for Create. The code will be:

public ActionResult Create()
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Welcome Blog Post Page";
            var v = ViewData.Model = _db.Comments.ToList();
            var Comments = new Comments();
 
            return View(Comments);
        }
 
        //
        // POST: /Home/Create
 
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Create(Comments Comments)
        {
            try
            {
                // TODO: Add insert logic here
                if (ModelState.IsValid)
                {
                    _db.Comments.Add(Comments);
                    _db.SaveChanges();
                    return RedirectToAction("index", "Home");  
                }
 
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            catch
            {
                return View();
            }
        }

Step 2:

Now right-click under the "Create" method and after that please check "Create Strongly-typed Views".

Choose Model Class "Comments" Under DropDown List.

Select "Create" under the "Scaffold Template" list. After that press the "Add" button. It will automatically create a view named "Create " under the "Home" folder.

The code will be generated automatically. Select all and Paste the following code under "create" view.

@model blogmvc3.Models.Comments
 
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Create";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_LayoutPage1.cshtml";
} 
<h2>Create</h2>
 
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Comments</legend>
        <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Blog.BlogName)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Blog.BlogName)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Blog.BlogName)
        </div>
          <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Blog.Description)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Blog.Description)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Blog.Description)
        </div>
           <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Blog.Body)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Blog.Body)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Blog.Body)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Comment)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Comment)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Comment)
        </div>
 
        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="Create" />
        </p>
    </fieldset>
}
 
<div>
    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>

Step 3:

Now write the method named "Details" under "Homecontroller":
 
        public ActionResult Details(int id)
        {
            Comments Comments = _db.Comments.Find(id);
            if (Comments == null)
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
 
            return View("Details", Comments);
        }

Now right-click under the "Details" method and after that please check "Create Strongly-typed Views".

Choose Model Class "Comments" Under Dropdown list.

Select "Details" under the "Scaffold Template" list. After that press the "Add" Button. It will automatically create a view named "Details" under the "Home" folder.

The code will be generated automatically. Select all and paste the following code under "Details" view.

@model blogmvc3.Models.Comments
 
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Details";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_LayoutPage1.cshtml";
}

<h2>Details</h2>

<fieldset>
    <legend>Comments</legend>
 
    <div class="display-label">BlogName</div>
    <div class="display-field">@Model.Blog.BlogName</div>
    <p></p>
 
    <div class="display-label">Blog Description</div>
    <div class="display-field">@Model.Blog.Description</div>
    <p></p>
 
    <div class="display-label">Body</div>
    <div class="display-field">@Model.Blog.Body</div>
    <p></p>
 
    <div class="display-label">Comment</div>
    <div class="display-field">@Model.Comment</div>  
</fieldset>
<
p>
    @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=Model.CommentId }) |
    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</p>

Step 4:

Now it's the time for the Edit action method in the home controller.

public
ActionResult Edit(int id)
        {
            var Comments = _db.Comments.Single(a => a.CommentId == id);
            return View(Comments);
        }
 
        //
        // POST: /Home/Edit/5
 
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection collection)
        {
            var Comments = _db.Comments.Find(id);
            try
            {
                if (TryUpdateModel(Comments))
                {
                    _db.SaveChanges();
                    return RedirectToAction("Index");
                }
                else
                {
                    return View(Comments);
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                return View(Comments); 
            }
        }

Now right-click under the "Edit" Action method and after that please check "Create Strongly-typed Views".

Choose Model Class "Comments" Under Dropdown List.

Select "Edit" under "Scaffold Template" List. After that press the "Add" Button. It will automatically create a view named "Edit" under the "Home" folder.

The code will be generated automatically. Select all and paste the following code under "Edit" view.

@model blogmvc3.Models.Comments
 
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_LayoutPage1.cshtml";
}
 
<h2>Edit</h2>
 
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
 
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Comments</legend>
 
        @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.CommentId)
         <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Blog.BlogName)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Blog.BlogName)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Blog.BlogName)
        </div>
          <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Blog.Description)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Blog.Description)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Blog.Description)
        </div>
           <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Blog.Body)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Blog.Body)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Blog.Body)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Comment)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Comment)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Comment)
        </div>
 
       @* <div class="editor-label">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.BlogId)
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.BlogId)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.BlogId)
        </div>
*@
 
        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="Save" />
        </p>
    </fieldset>
}
 
<div>
    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>

Step 5:

Now for the delete action please write the following code under the "homeController".

public
ActionResult Delete(int id)
        {
            return View(_db.Comments .Find (id));
        }
 
        //
        // POST: /Home/Delete/5
 
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Delete(int id, FormCollection collection)
        {
            try
            {
                // TODO: Add delete logic here
                var comments = _db.Comments.Find(id);
                _db.Comments.Remove(comments);
                _db.SaveChanges();
 
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            catch
            {
                return View();
            }
        }

Now right-click under the "Delete" Action method and after that please check "Create Strongly-typed Views".

Choose Model Class "Comments" under the Dropdown list.

Select "Delete" under the "Scaffold Template" list. After that press the "Add" Button. It will automatically create a view named "Delete" under the "Home" folder.

The code will be generated automatically. Select all and paste the following code under the "Delete" view.

@model blogmvc3.Models.Comments
 
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Delete";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_LayoutPage1.cshtml";
}
 
<h2>Delete</h2>
 
<h3>Are you sure you want to delete this?</h3>
<fieldset>
    <legend>Delete Action</legend>
 
    <div class="display-label">BlogName</div>
    <div class="display-field">@Model.Blog.BlogName</div>
    <p></p>
 
    <div class="display-label">Blog Description</div>
    <div class="display-field">@Model.Blog.Description</div>
    <p></p>
 
    <div class="display-label">Body</div>
    <div class="display-field">@Model.Blog.Body</div>
 
    <p></p>
 
    <div class="display-label">Comment</div>
    <div class="display-field">@Model.Comment</div>
</fieldset>
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    <p>
        <input type="submit" value="Delete" /> |
        @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
    </p>
}

Now the overall code of the "HomeController" is given below:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using blogmvc3.Models;
using blogmvc3.DatabaseContext;
 
namespace blogmvc3.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Home/
        BlogDbContext _db = new BlogDbContext();
 
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(_db.Comments .ToList ());
        }
 
        //
        // GET: /Home/Details/5
 
        public ActionResult Details(int id)
        {
            Comments Comments = _db.Comments.Find(id);
            if (Comments == null)
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
 
            return View("Details", Comments);
        }
 
        //
        // GET: /Home/Create
 
        public ActionResult Create()
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Welcome Blog Post Page";
            var v = ViewData.Model = _db.Comments.ToList();
            var Comments = new Comments();
 
            return View(Comments);
        }
 
        //
        // POST: /Home/Create
 
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Create(Comments Comments)
        {
            try
            {
                // TODO: Add insert logic here
                if (ModelState.IsValid)
                {
                    _db.Comments.Add(Comments);
                    _db.SaveChanges();
 
                    return RedirectToAction("index", "Home"); 
                }
 
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            catch
            {
                return View();
            }
        }
       
        //
        // GET: /Home/Edit/5|
 
        public ActionResult Edit(int id)
        {
            var Comments = _db.Comments.Single(a => a.CommentId == id);
 
            return View(Comments);
       }
 
        //
        // POST: /Home/Edit/5
 
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection collection)
        {
            var Comments = _db.Comments.Find(id);
            try
            {
                if (TryUpdateModel(Comments))
                {
                    _db.SaveChanges();
                    return RedirectToAction("Index");
                }
               else
                {
                    return View(Comments);
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                return View(Comments); 
            }
        }
 
        //
        // GET: /Home/Delete/5
 
        public ActionResult Delete(int id)
        {
            return View(_db.Comments .Find (id));
        }
 
        //
        // POST: /Home/Delete/5
 
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Delete(int id, FormCollection collection)
        {
            try
            {
                // TODO: Add delete logic here
                var comments = _db.Comments.Find(id);
                _db.Comments.Remove(comments);
                _db.SaveChanges(); 
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            catch
            {
                return View();
            }
        }
    }
}

Step 6:

Now run the following code. You will insert, update, delete and see the details data in the application. In this application I did not do any designing.

So now you can get a good basic idea of ASP.Net MVC3 razor applications with Entity Framework.

This application is being made by VS 2010. I have uploaded the source code here.
