public class Feedback
{
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public int? Answer { get; set; }
    [StringLength(500)]
    public string Comment { get; set; }
    [StringLength(100)]
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    [StringLength(255)]
    public string Email { get; set; }
}

Open IdentityModels class, then add a Feedback property to the ApplicationDbContext class

public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
    public ApplicationDbContext()
        : base("DefaultConnection", throwIfV1Schema: false)
    {
    }
    
    public DbSet<Feedback> Feedbacks { get; set; }

    public static ApplicationDbContext Create()
    {
        return new ApplicationDbContext();
    }
}

Create an Answer class to map data

public class Answer
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Css { get; set; }
}

Create a FeedbackViewModel class to transfer data beween view and controller

public class FeedbackViewModel
{
    public string Comment { get; set; }
    public string FullName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public int? Select { get; set; }
    public List<Answer> Answers { get; set; }
}

Step 3: Create a Feedback controller as below

public class FeedbackController : Controller
{
    ApplicationDbContext context;
    public FeedbackController()
    {
        context = new ApplicationDbContext();
    }

    // GET: Feedback
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(context.Feedbacks.ToList());
    }

    public ActionResult Create()
    {
        FeedbackViewModel model = new FeedbackViewModel();
        model.Answers = Common.GetAnswers();
        return View(model);
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public async Task<ActionResult> Create(FeedbackViewModel model)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            context.Feedbacks.Add(new Feedback() { Answer = model.Select, Comment = model.Comment, Email = model.Email, FullName = model.FullName });
            await context.SaveChangesAsync();
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
        model.Answers = Common.GetAnswers();
        return View(model);
    }
}

Right click on Index action, then create an Index view, similar for Create action

@model IEnumerable<MvcDemo.Models.Feedback>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>
<p>
    @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table class="table">
    <tr>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Answer)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Comment)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.FullName)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Email)
        </th>
        <th></th>
    </tr>
    @foreach (var item in Model) {
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Answer)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Comment)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.FullName)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Email)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.ID }) |
            @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.ID }) |
            @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.ID })
        </td>
    </tr>
}
</table>

Add code to Create view

@model MvcDemo.Models.FeedbackViewModel
@{
    Layout = null;
}
