using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;namespace UpdateDataPOCOTemplateWCFSupport

{

    public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page

    {

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text) ||string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox3.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox4.Text))

            {

                Label5.Text = "Please Enter Some Data";

                Label5.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

            }

            else

            {

                var id1 = Convert.ToInt32(TextBox4.Text);

                var objEmployee = objEntities.tblEmployee.Where(a => a.EmpId == id1).FirstOrDefault();

                objEmployee.FirstName = TextBox1.Text;

                objEmployee.LastName = TextBox2.Text;

                objEmployee.Age = int.Parse(TextBox3.Text);

                objEntities.SaveChanges();

                Label5.Text = "Data Updated Successfully";

                Label5.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

                TextBox1.Text = string.Empty;

                TextBox2.Text = string.Empty;

                TextBox3.Text = string.Empty;

                TextBox4.Text = string.Empty;

            }

        }

        #region Instance MembersCompanyEntities objEntities = new CompanyEntities();

        #endregion

    }

}
