CRUD Operations In JTable Using MVC

Introduction

In this article, we will discuss CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) Operations functionality In jTable Using MVC and entity framework. I will use visual studio 2012 framework and SQL server 2008 R2 for this demo.

So, before opening visual studio let's create and populate student table using following script.


Student table scrip

Insert into student values('016a7375-6da4-471b-9182-e1a122828d9e',1,'Sara','Female','Chennai')
Insert into student values('048e49c9-8cb0-4b18-8afe-9c2f89e0ddf1',2,'David','Male','Sydeny')
Insert into student values('04e4d633-f0af-4269-be06-1b4a5588ae0d',3,'Dora','Female','New York')
Insert into student values('071e0c85-50eb-4283-8d7f-1b055990a944',4,'Maya','Female','London')
Insert into student values('0c868ccb-382d-4349-a338-97210a17d254',5,'Vikram', 'Male','Mumbai')
Insert into student values('17f95a81-934d-43fd-b780-4afd8509d8e0',6,'Nikhil','Male','Delhi')

Step 1: Create MVC project, by using following steps.

  1. Open Visual Studio.
  2. Click on File -> New -> Project.
  3. In this project, I am using C# as a programming language, but you can also choose VISUAL BASIC if you know syntaxes of VB.
  4. Inside Visual C# -> Web -> Project -> Select Asp.Net MVC 3, 4 or 5 -> Name your project -> JtableDemo -> Select Ok
    5. Crud Operation
  5. Now one more dialog box will open -> select 'Internet Application' as a project template. -> OK.
    6. Crud Operation

Step 2: Install 'jTable' and 'entity framework' from NuGet Package Manager by using following steps

  1. Open solution explorer -> Right click on your project name and click on Manage Nuget Packages
    2. Crud Operation
  2. Go to online tab and Search for jTable and click on install button.
    3. Crud Operation
  3. Now search for Entity framework and click on install button.
    4. Crud Operation
  4. Once you install jtbale and entity framework. You will find them inside your project folder.
    5. Crud Operation

Step 3 : Add new folder in your project for entities.

  1. Right click on your project name -> click add -> click New Folder -> rename that new folder to 'Entities'
    2. Crud Operation
  2. Once you created 'Entities' folder add one class file inside that folder -> name that class file -> Student.cs
    3. Crud Operation
  3. Copy and paste following code inside student class file.

        public string Gender { get; set; }
        public string City { get; set; }
