Error Description

DbEntityValidationException was caught
Validation failed for one or more entities. See 'EntityValidationErrors' property for more details.

Solution

This error happens as a result of data type length was short and I was attempting long data length to insert in to that particular column, after I went into deeply analysis then came up that data length is short in database therefore it needs to extend data storage capability. Whereas increase the length in database and save the database table then attempt once again with same input data then it starts to operate functioning fine. I've increased FirstName data Type length nvarchar(20) to nvarchar(50).
