Entity Framework in mvc

In mvc you can use two methods for data communication by entity framwork
1. Code first method : In code first you need to create class from the scratch level, In code first approach we avoid working with visual designer of entity framework. In other words the .EDMX file is excluded from the solution. So you now have complete control over the context class as well as the entity classes.

2. Database First method : If you have database already created and you want to user the same in your application then you can use database first method by adding .Edmx file.
Note : If you have less knowledge of OOP and C# coding the you should use database firs method.

Following links are the examples of code first and database firs method and you can search on the google as your requirement.
