Delete and Update Data in Reverse Engineering POCO Generator

Delete Data - Reverse Engineering POCO Generator

Introduction

This article demonstrates an interesting and very useful concept in Entity Framework.

Question: What is the reverse engineering POCO generator?

In simple terms "It is a template that enables generation of entity classes by reverse engineering with the POCO generator".

Step 1: Create a new web application

Step 2: Adding a new Entity Framework reverse engineering POCO generator :

Step 3: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx is as in the following:

<%@Page Language="C#"AutoEventWireup="true"CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs"Inherits="DeleteDataReverseEnggPOCOGenerator.WebForm1"%>

Step 4: The complete code of WebForm1.aspx.cs is as in the following:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace DeleteDataReverseEnggPOCOGenerator

{

publicpartial classWebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page

{

protectedvoid Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

protectedvoid Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text))

{

Label3.Text ="Please Enter Some Values";

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

}

else

{

int id = int.Parse(TextBox1.Text);

var query = (from r in objEntities.TblEmployee where r.EmpId == idselect r).Single();

objEntities.TblEmployee.Remove(query);

objEntities.SaveChanges();

Label3.Text ="Data Deleted Successfully";

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

TextBox1.Text =string.Empty;

}

#region Instance MembersMyDbContext objEntities = new MyDbContext();

#endregion

}

Step 5: The complete code of web.config is as in the following:

</configSections>

<addname="ApplicationServices"connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

<addname="MyDbContext"connectionString="Data Source=WIN-KV3BO1RQQF7;Initial Catalog=Company;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>

<system.webServer>

<modulesrunAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />

</system.webServer>

<defaultConnectionFactorytype="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework" />

</entityFramework>

</configuration>

Step 6: The output of the application is as in the following:

Step 7: The deleted data output of the application is as in the following:
