EntityType has no key defined error

  1. Make sure public members of student class are defined as properties w/ {get; set;} (yours are public variables - a common mistake).

  2. Place a [Key] annotation on top of your chosen property.


The Model class should be changed to :

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace MvcApplication1.Models
{
    [Table("studentdetails")]
    public class student
    {
        [Key]
        public int RollNo { get; set; }

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public string Stream { get; set; }

        public string Div { get; set; }
    }
}
