MVC input data into SQL table.Website works without error but when i click ShowTableData everything is Null - mysql

Question

Ok so im trying to input data from View to a SQL table i got no errorss but data does not show in the table
I using VisualStudio project is ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application so it has already created models
views connectionstring controllers and it has a Site.Master so i just make new View from which i will pass data to my controller and then push it to SQL table which i have already created within "Table" folder which is created by default from the project in this "Table" folder i have tables which are needed for registration stuff already created by its own so i just added a new table to this "Table" folder called ProductTable
So ProductTable has 2 values (int)ID which is Primary Keyed and (string)Name
Ok so in "Model" folder i added new Class "ProductTable" with code inside
[Table("ProductTable")]
public class ProductTable
{
[Key]
public int ID { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
i have created another class there "ProductTableContext " with code inside
public class ProductTableContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<ProductTable> Products { get; set; }
}
and in my HomeController i have
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Modify this template to jump-start your ASP.NET MVC application.";
return View();
}
public ActionResult About()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Your app description page.";
return View();
}
public ActionResult Contact()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Your .";
return View();
}
public ActionResult Table()
{
return View(new ProductTable());
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Table(ProductTable product)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(product);
}
using (var contex = new ProductTableContext())
{
contex.Products.Add(product);
contex.SaveChanges();
}
return View();
}
}
so Index , About and Contact are Views created by the project itself.
and View
#model Father.Models.ProductTable
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Table";
}
<h2>Table</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div>
#Html.LabelFor(x => x.Name)
#Html.EditorFor(x => x.Name)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Name)
</div>
<button type="submit">Create event</button>
}
So the problem is that everything works fine i have no errors but when i close the website and i press debug > stop debugging then i click ShowTableData on ProductTable in ServerExplorer all values are Nulls so its like ihave never added this Data to the table can anyone tell me whats wrong? Thank you!

Add this attribute to your ID property
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]. This will tell EF to have the database generate the Identity when you save the object.
