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
  1. using System;    
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;    
  3. using System.Linq;    
  4. using System.Web;    
  5. using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;    
  6. using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;    
  7.     
  8. namespace Insert_Data___Code_Frist_Approach    
  9. {    
  10.     public class Employee    
  11.     {    
  12.     
  13.         public Employee()    
  14.         {     
  15.         }    
  16.     
  17.         [Key]    
  18.         [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]    
  19.         public int Id { get; set; }    
  20.         public string FirstName { get; set; }    
  21.         public string LastName { get; set; }    
  22.         public int Age { get; set; }    
  23.     }    
  24. }    
Employeecontext.cs
  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Data.Entity;  
  4. using System.Linq;  
  5. using System.Web;  
  6.   
  7. namespace Insert_Data___Code_Frist_Approach  
  8. {  
  9.     public class EmployeeContext : DbContext  
  10.     {  
  11.         public EmployeeContext()  
  12.             : base("EmployeeConn")  
  13.         {  
  14.             Database.SetInitializer<EmployeeContext>(new CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<EmployeeContext>());            
  15.         }  
  16.   
  17.         public DbSet<Employee> Employees { get; set; }  
  18.     }  
  19. }  
Web.config
