CRUD Operations using jQuery dialog and Entity Framework - MVC Razor

This article will demonstrate, how to create an Asp.Net MVC application with CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) Operations using jQuery JSON and Entity Framework 4.1. Suppose you have below table in database.

 CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer]
 (
 [CustID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
 [Name] [varchar](100) NULL,
 [Address] [varchar](200) NULL,
 [ContactNo] [varchar](20) NULL,
 ) 

Now add Ado.Net Entity Data Model to Model of your MVC application and genearate model from SQL Server database by adding above Customer table like as:

Create Operation

Read Operation

Update Operation

Delete Operation

View Code for CRUD Operations

 WebGrid grid = new WebGrid(rowsPerPage: Model.PageSize);
 grid.Bind(Model.Customer, autoSortAndPage: false, rowCount: Model.TotalRows );
