Hello Shibly Since you have used CRUD operation then it edits/updates the record based on the primary key only. If you want to have a separate edit page to update the record then you need to have a separate action method for that. You can also override the edit method. Like public ActionResult EditRecord(EditModel model) { //AddOrUpdate(); //SaveChanges(); } This will do the operation. You just need to have a Textbox where user will enter the id of the record and a button named Edit. Onclick of that Edit button retrieve the Id entered by the User and then send that to the Action method which will update the record based on the Id. Remember to the action method you need to pass the whole model properties for the record along with the primary key/id. So that the record will be based on updated values. You can use Ajax call here like: var modelData = { Property1: Property2: //so on }; then assign the properties the values like modelData.Property1 = $(#id).val(); //to assign the updated values. $.ajax({ url:/CONTROLLER/EDITMETHOD type:POST data: modelData success: function(){ } }); I hope this helps. Accept if helps anyway. Thanks
