I'm trying to insert some data in my database using Entity Framework model, but for some unknown reasons to me, it does nothing.
Am I missing something here?
using (var context = new DatabaseEntities())
{
var t = new test
{
ID = Guid.NewGuid(),
name = "blah",
};
context.AddTotest(t);
context.SaveChanges();
}
It should be:
context.TableName.Add(TableEntityInstance);
For versions of entity framework before 6, it was:
context.TableName.AddObject(TableEntityInstance);
Where:
TableName: the name of the table in the database.TableEntityInstance: an instance of the table entity class.If your table is Orders, then:
Order order = new Order();
context.Orders.Add(order);
For example:
var id = Guid.NewGuid();
// insert
using (var db = new EfContext("name=EfSample"))
{
var customers = db.Set<Customer>();
customers.Add( new Customer { CustomerId = id, Name = "John Doe" } );
db.SaveChanges();
}
Here is an example:
public void UpdatePlayerScreen(byte[] imageBytes, string installationKey)
{
var player = (from p in this.ObjectContext.Players where p.InstallationKey == installationKey select p).FirstOrDefault();
var current = (from d in this.ObjectContext.Screenshots where d.PlayerID == player.ID select d).FirstOrDefault();
if (current != null)
{
current.Screen = imageBytes;
current.Refreshed = DateTime.Now;
this.ObjectContext.SaveChanges();
}
else
{
Screenshot screenshot = new Screenshot();
screenshot.ID = Guid.NewGuid();
screenshot.Interval = 1000;
screenshot.IsTurnedOn = true;
screenshot.PlayerID = player.ID;
screenshot.Refreshed = DateTime.Now;
screenshot.Screen = imageBytes;
this.ObjectContext.Screenshots.Add(screenshot);
this.ObjectContext.SaveChanges();
}
}
var context = new DatabaseEntities();
var t = new test //Make sure you have a table called test in DB
{
ID = Guid.NewGuid(),
name = "blah",
};
context.test.Add(t);
context.SaveChanges();
Should do it
[HttpPost] // it use when you write logic on button click event
public ActionResult DemoInsert(EmployeeModel emp)
{
Employee emptbl = new Employee(); // make object of table
emptbl.EmpName = emp.EmpName;
emptbl.EmpAddress = emp.EmpAddress; // add if any field you want insert
dbc.Employees.Add(emptbl); // pass the table object
dbc.SaveChanges();
return View();
}
AddTotest(t)method is a custom method. Since it's not shown what happens there, this question can't be answered.
