Generic Repository Pattern with ASP.NET MVC and EF provides a concise overview of the generic repository pattern and its implementation with ASP.NET MVC and Entity Framework. The generic repository pattern allows a single repository to handle data access for all models, reducing duplicate code, speeding development and enforcing consistency. The document outlines the steps to implement this pattern, including creating models, a DbContext, generic IRepository and Repository interfaces, modifying controllers to use the generic repository, enabling migrations and more.

- 2. • MVC Stands for Model – View – Controller • It is Software Architectural pattern MAHEDEE.NET 2 What is MVC?
- 3. • Is an open source web application framework • It implements the model-view-controller pattern • MVC design pattern aims to “Separation Of concern” MAHEDEE.NET 3 What is ASP.NET MVC?
- 4. • Entity Framework is an ORM. • Work with relational data using domain-specific objects • Eliminates the need for most of the data-access code MAHEDEE.NET 4 What is ASP.NET EF?
- 5. DRY? Don’t repeat yourself -Means don't write duplicate code Use generic repository pattern to implement DRY MAHEDEE.NET 5
- 6. • What is Design Pattern? • Design pattern is a solution of known problems • What is Software Design Pattern? • Is a solution of known problems in Software. • Strategies of solving commonly occurring problems. • A design pattern is not a finish design. • It is like a template to solve a problem. MAHEDEE.NET 6 Software Design Pattern
- 7. Repository Pattern • Mediator between BLL and DAL(Data Source) • It’s a separation layer between Data and Domain Layer – Separates data and domain Layer MAHEDEE.NET 7
- 8. Benefits of Repository Pattern • Centralizes data logic or service logic. • Provides a substitution point for the unit tests – Both BLL and DAL • Provides a flexible architecture – Can adopt new change easily • Domain driven development is easier MAHEDEE.NET 8
- 9. What is Generic Repository Pattern? • Generally - one repository for one model to access data. – Write similar code again and again • What if Single Repository for all? • Single repository for data access of all models. MAHEDEE.NET 9
- 10. Benefits of Generic Repository Pattern • Reduce redundancy of code • Faster development • Force developer to work same pattern – Possibility of less error or no error • Easy to maintain – Centralize data access logic MAHEDEE.NET 10
