ASP.Net MVC 4 how to add a database product list

[sisimon]

Does any know a good place to find information on how to get a database working in MVC 4 or 3....

dotConnect - I can get the database in my "Server Explorer" in Visual Studio 2012 Professional, but for some reason can not get a grid view / table view in MVC... (C# ASP.net)

Database : datatest
Table : product
Table cells : prodnames

Using the standard VS2012 - selecting Framework 4, as a "ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application"
Which creates a : MvcApplication

I did follow the first example, but looking for a way to add in data from a database...

Any help would be great - as building a demo site to compare speeds... And new at MVC - been mostly using this in Objective-C.

Have tried WebForm ASP.Net - and this works great... Just need to configure the MVC to buy dotConnect for MySQL and dbForge STudio for MySQL
Cheers
Simon

dotConnect for MySQL tutorial about SimpleMembership functionality in MVC4: http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/mysql/ ... orial.html.

Here is a general Microsoft tutorial about data access in MVC4: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/hands- ... ata-access. Try using it with dotConnect for MySQL instead of System.Data.SqlClient. If you encounter any provider-specific problems, please contact us.

Thanks - also found out the problem was using "MySQL Connectors" which was clashing with Devart - so removed all my programs and now can connect Data Models using Entity Framework...
Thanks Shalex, for the lessons link - will check these out... Cheers Simon
