{

}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text))

{

Label3.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";

Label3.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

}

else

{

objContext.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("delete from dbo.tblEmployee where EmpId = " + int.Parse(TextBox1.Text) + "");

Label3.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

TextBox1.Text = string.Empty;

}

}

#region Instance

MembersCompanyContext objContext = new CompanyContext();

#endregion

}

}
