Convert EntityFramework to Raw SQL Queries in MVC - sql

Question

I am trying to make a crud calendar in my .net, my question is, How do make the below entity framework codes to SQL queries?
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SaveEvent(Event e)
{
var status = false;
using (MyDatabaseEntities dc = new MyDatabaseEntities())
{
if (e.EventID > 0)
{
//Update the event
var v = dc.Events.Where(a => a.EventID == e.EventID).FirstOrDefault();
if (v != null)
{
v.Subject = e.Subject;
v.Start = e.Start;
v.End = e.End;
v.Description = e.Description;
v.IsFullDay = e.IsFullDay;
v.ThemeColor = e.ThemeColor;
}
}
else
{
dc.Events.Add(e);
}
dc.SaveChanges();
status = true;
}
return new JsonResult { Data = new { status = status } };
}

You can run raw query in entity framework with dc.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand() command like below:
var status = false;
using (MyDatabaseEntities dc = new MyDatabaseEntities())
{
if (e.EventID > 0)
{
dc.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand(&#"
UPDATE Events
SET Subject = {e.Subject},
Start = {e.Start},
End = {End},
Description = {Description},
IsFullDay = {IsFullDay},
ThemeColor = {ThemeColor},
WHERE EventID = {e.EventID}
IF ##ROWCOUNT = 0
INSERT INTO Events (EventID, Subject, Start, End, Description, IsFullDay, ThemeColor)
VALUES ({e.EventID}, {e.Subject}, ...)
");
status = true;
}
return new JsonResult { Data = new { status = status }
};
