Create A JSON File With C#

In previous article, I discussed about JSON. To see my previous article here is the link: What is JSON

If you already know MVC with Entity Framework Code first approach you can skip Step 1 to Step 4.

I am using visual studio 2013 for this demo.

Step 1: Open visual studio ( for this open run command by pressing windows flag key + R now run command open type devenv, then click ok ).

Go to File, New, then Project and select C#. After that select Web, then ASP.NET Web Application. Name the application CreatingJsonFile and click OK, Select MVC template and Change Authentication to No Authentication and click ok.

Step 2: Now from solution explorer, right click on model folder, add a class, name the class Person.cs and add some properties.

Step 3: Now right click on controller folder, add a Controller and select MVC5 controller with view using Entity Framework, then click add.

Now select model class Person and add New Data Context class. Here I am not changing the Context and Controller name (if you want to change the Context and Controller name you can change). Controller will also generate views for you.

Step 4: Go to App_start folderMAND click on RoutConfig.cs file change the Controller name from Home to People so that when you run the application, the starting page should be People/index.

Step 5: Now click on F5 to run the application and when you run the application first time, it will create database with table name People in SQL Express.

Now add some data into table, click on Create New link and it will open form, fill the form and click on create, so in this way I have added 4 records.

The following records are in my database table People.
