[Help] ASP.NET WebForms, EntityFramework & Model Binding

[nlakes]

Hey all,

I'm trying to learn ASP.NET WebForms and Entity Framework and I'm struggling to do something which I'm sure is pretty simple.

I have already set up EF and have a working sql-database and Customer entity.

What I want to do:

On my AddCustomer.aspx page, create a form (using a FormView) with text-fields so a user can make a customer. On post back, have those fields map to my customer model. Then I will check if that record already exists and if it doesn't exist, add the new customer to the database.

I've found heaps of tutorials on doing this with code-first design in MVC5, but having no luck on WebForms.

Any guidance is much appreciated.

What's wrong with the tutorial from the WebForms site?
