How to create Repository Classes in MVC3 (Entity Framework)?

Question

I created a project using MVC3 - Entity Framework . I like to use Repository Pattern together with it. I am new to repository pattern. Do I need to create ONE EACH Repository for each Model Class (classes which represent each table in the database) and within each repository do I have to write all the functions which will Insert Update Delete and Fetch record ?

Yes. If you want you can implement unit of work pattern for CRUD opetions. Please read thru some of the existing applications. http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/getting-started-with-ef-using-mvc/implementing-the-repository-and-unit-of-work-patterns-in-an-asp-net-mvc-application http://pigg.codeplex.com/ http://efrepositorypattern.codeplex.com/ http://cartrackr.codeplex.com/
