The short answer is yes. You can use Entity Framework in your controller actions methods:

The view engine you use has no bearing on your data layer at all. It's one of the benefits of using MVC.

Thanks for replying.Can we do this with Code First?If yes ,What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of CF?

That looks like a separate question to me. Please don't ask questions in the comments section, they get overlooked. If you ask that as another question, others can find it there.
