title: Manipulating large quantities of data in ASP.NET MVC 5
body: <p>I am currently working towards implementing a charting library with a database that contains a large amount of data. For the table I am using, the raw data is spread out across 148 columns of data, with over 1000 rows. As I have only created  models for tables that contain a few columns, I am unsure how to go about implementing a model for this particular table. My usual method of creating a model and using the Entity Framework to connect it to a database doesn't seem practical, as implementing 148 properties for each column does not seem like an efficient method.</p>
  
  <p>My questions are: </p>
  
  <p>What would be a good method to implement this table into an MVC project so that there are read actions that allow one to pull the data from the table? </p>
  
  <p>How would one structure a model so that one could read 148 columns of data from it without having to declare 148 properties?</p>
  
  <p>Is the Entity Framework an efficient way of achieving this goal?</p>
