You need to have Primary key in your table in which you are saving details, this error occurs as when EF mapping is done with a table which doesnot have Primary key, it is considered as a view & views being logical enity, cant be updated.

So adding PK in your table would work.

I was getting the same error as described in question, in the below code and solved it with the help of @pika's answer

               Student_Marks stuDentMarks = new Student_Marks();
                stuDentMarks.Student_Id = int.Parse(model.Student_Id);
                stuDentMarks.Marks = int.Parse(model.stuDentMarks);
                context.AddToStudent_Marks(stuDentMarks);
                context.SaveChanges();

Solution: I rechecked Table Student_marks in Database and Primary Key was not set in the table , I set the primary key and above problem was resolved
