using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using MyApp.Models;
namespace MyApp.Controllers
{
public class DeviceController : Controller
{

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult SaveMultiple()
{
int _recordsToEnter = 5;
List<Device> lst = new List<Device>();
for (int i = 1; i <= _recordsToEnter; i++)
{
lst.Add(new Device() { DeviceID = i, DeviceName = "", NumberOfDevices=0 });
}
return View(lst);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SaveMultiple(List<Device> devices)
{
using (var _db = new HRDBEntities())
{
int _deviceID = _db.Devices.Max(x => (int?)x.DeviceID) ?? 0;
List<Device> _toSave = new List<Device>();
foreach (var item in devices)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(item.DeviceName) && item.NumberOfDevices != 0)
{
_deviceID++;
_toSave.Add(new Device()
{
DeviceID = _deviceID,
DeviceName = item.DeviceName,
NumberOfDevices = item.NumberOfDevices,
SerialNo = item.SerialNo,
Comments = item.Comments
});
}
}
if (_toSave.Count > 0)
{
_db.Devices.AddRange(_toSave);
_db.SaveChanges();
}
}
return View();
}
}
}

Add view to the following action

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult SaveMultiple()
{
int _recordsToEnter = 5;
List lst = new List();
for (int i = 1; i <= _recordsToEnter; i++)
{
lst.Add(new Device() { DeviceID = i, DeviceName = "", NumberOfDevices=0 });
}
return View(lst);
}
