Step 1: Create and populate Employee table. Step 2: Create Insert, Update and Delete stored procedures Step 3: Create a new empty asp.net web application Step 4: Add a new ADO.NET Entity Data Model. a) On Choose Model Contents screen select "Generate from database" option and click Next b) On "Choose Your Data Connections" screen give a meaningful name for the connection string that will be stored in the web.config file. I have named it EmployeeDBContext. Click Next. c) On "Choose Your Database Objects" screen, select Employees Table and the 3 strored procedures (InsertEmployee, UpdateEmployee, DeleteEmployee). Provide a meaningful name for the Model namespace. I have named it EmployeeModel. CLick Finish. At this point on the ADO.NET Entity Model designer surface, we should be able to see the Employee entity but not the stored procedures. To view the stored procedures, 1. Right click on entity model designer surface and select "Model Broswer" from the context menu. 2. Expand Stored Procedures folder Step 5: Add a webform to the project. Drag and drop the following 3 controls and build the solution. 1. GridView 2. DetailsView 3. EntityDataSource Step 6: Configure EntityDataSource control a). Right click on EntityDataSource control and select "Show Smart Tag" option b) Click on Configure Data Source link c) Select EmployeeDBContext from the Named Connection dropdownlist and click Next d) Select the options on "Configure Data Selection" screen as shown in the video Step 7: Configure GridView control a).

Use properties window to set this. f) Set InsertVisible="false" for the ID BoundField. You can do this directly in the HTML Source. g) Generate ItemInserted event handler method for DetailsView control. Copy and paste the following code. protected void DetailsView1_ItemInserted(object sender, DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs e) { GridView1.DataBind(); } At this point if you run the application, and if you insert, update and delete employees, by default entity framework will use the sql it autogene
