[Table("tblEmployee")]
public class Employee
{
[Key]
public int EmpNo { get; set; }
public string Ename { get; set; }
public string Designation { get; set; }
public decimal Salary { get; set; }
public int Mgrno { get; set; }

[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime DateofBirth { get; set; }

[DataType(DataType.Date)]
public DateTime DateofJoining { get; set; }

[ForeignKey("Department")]
public int DepNo { get; set; }

public virtual Department Department { get; set; }

//public Department Department { get; set; }

[Table("tblDepartment")]
public class Department
