we needed to:
1. Open a connection between VS
4 project and SQLServer and certain
the database.
2. Write the query string.
3. Assign the query result to an
adapter.
4. Make a data table to fill the
records in it then map it into
DataGrid.
Is there an easier way?

ORM 1
ORM
Object–relational mapping (ORM, O/RM, and O/R mapping tool) in computer
science is a programming technique for converting data between a relational
database and the heap of an object-oriented programming language. This creates,
in effect, a virtual object database that can be used from within the programming
language.

EF Overview2
EF Overview
➢ Entity Framework is an open-source ORM framework for .NET applications
supported by Microsoft.
➢ It enables developers to work with data using objects of domain specific
classes without focusing on the underlying database tables and columns
where this data is stored.
➢ With the Entity Framework, developers can work at a higher level of
abstraction when they deal with data, and can create and maintain data-
oriented applications with less code compared with traditional applications.

Official Definition: “Entity Framework is an object-relational mapper


(O/RM) that enables .NET developers to work with a database
using .NET objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access
code that developers usually need to write.”
Entity Framework fits between the
business entities (domain classes) and
the database. It saves data stored in
the properties of business entities and
also retrieves data from the database
and converts it to business entities
objects automatically.

report data in

page using the
Entity Framework

In the ExpenseReportPage
constructor:
1. we will comment the call of
showTheReport() method
which is used ADO.NET way.
2. Call showByEntity() method
which we will create.

● We assign it with the list of records that were retrieved using Lambda

● The Lambda Expression here means in the database (db) in

Now let’s bind the
label control for

In the first line we will get values from column Department where
column Names == _person.Name, But if we bind the result directly
with the label it will cause a logical error.
Because where get multiple records and we want to assign these
records to a label content which should has a single value.

So we assigned the result to rec variable then bind the label content
with it using FirstOrDefault() method.
FirstOrDefault() get one record only which is the first one.

At first we will create a Modify page like this
15

Activity

Can you make the UI for this


page?
We want to navigate Modify page with Home and
Report page using these buttons
5
minutes
Activity

Do the pages navigation


CRUD Operations by EF Now we want all values appear when
we open the Modify page

So we will write this line in


ModifyRecords constructor.
In this line we bind all data from
ExpenseReports table with the
DataGrid.
CRUD Operations by EF

Add Record
To add record we should
handle this operation in the
code behind by creating a
method that should execute
whenever we click on Add
button.
Create a method with
CRUD Operations by EF name AddRecord

Let’s start with these


lines:
Create an object with
ExpenseReport type,
then assign each
property with the text
boxes values
CRUD Operations by EF

Add the object to the


database using Add()
method.
Don’t forget use
SaveChanges()
method to ensure that
is the records saved in
database.
Let’s try to add some
records
CRUD Operations by EF

Update Record
To update record we should
handle this operation in the
code behind by creating a
method that should execute
whenever we determine the
ID and click on the Update
button
Create a method with
CRUD Operations by EF name UpdateRecord

1. Create an object
with
ExpenseReport
type

2. Get the ID from


the TextBox and
assign it to the
idFromTxt
variable
3. We used Lambda
Expression to get the
record that we want to
update.
First() method will get
the first record that has
the same id was
determined.

Same process like


the add method

To update the
result use
