 // GET: Student/Edit/5
 // It is receives a get http request for the controller Student and Action Edit with the id of 5
    public ActionResult Edit(int? id)
    {
         // it good practice to consider that things could go wrong so,it is wise to have a validation in the controller
        if (id == null)
        {
            // returns a bad request
            return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
        }
        
        // It finds the Student to be edited.
        Student student = db.Students.Find(id);
        if (student == null)
        {
            // if doesn't found returns 404
            return HttpNotFound();
        }
        // Returns the Student data to fill out the edit form values.
        return View(student);

此方法與詳細操作方法非常相似，後者是重構的良好候選方法，但它超出了本主題的範圍。
