Hi friends,
I'm want to save bulk data to DB.
I refred following code:

[HttpPost] 
public ActionResult Create(Order obj) 
{ 
    try 
    { 
            db.Order.Add(obj); 
            db.SaveChanges(); 
            return RedirectToAction("Index"); 
    } 
    catch (DataException) 
    { 
    }   
}

In above case I can save only one row of data of type order, but I have table where each row represents the order added by customer.

how can I save the table in the DB??

Any idea how can I do it??

Thanks in advance

You will need to iterate through each row of data and add them. Use a foreach loop.

One way i know is through Jquery
loop through each tr and create CSV and send to action at controller side??

Any other way to do the same??

If you know that way, I would stick with it.

I told you what to use in my first comment. Use a foreach loop. Do a search on how to use one, it is very simple.

First, your Action is accepting only one Order. Try making you Action as below:

C#

[HttpPost] 
public ActionResult Create(List<orders> orders) 
{ 
    try 
    { 
        
    } 
    catch (DataException) 
    { 
    }   
} 
</orders>

Then do this:

C#

[HttpPost] 
public ActionResult Create(List<orders> orders) 
{ 
    try 
    { 
        foreach(var o in orders)
        {
           db.Order.Add(o);
           //etc
        }
    
    } 
    catch (DataException) 
    { 
    }   
} 
</orders>
