Question

I am doing a simple edit in ASP.NET MVC. The action result code is below. This example here
says I can do the following.

Code example:

public ActionResult Edit(int id)
   {
       using (var db = new BlogDataEntities())
       {
           return View(db.Blogs.Find(id));
       }
    }

But when I try to do it, I cannot get Find property for db.Amodel.?
What am I missing?

My code:

public ActionResult Edit(string id)
    {
        using (var db = new dbAEntities())
        {
           return View(db.Amodel.Find(id));//This is not working. Find is not     
                                           //recognzied and intellisense does 
                                           //not give me that option too.
        }           
    }

They are referring to the Entity Framework 4.1 which seems to introduce the Find method. You are probably using an older version. Rewrite the code to:

public ActionResult Edit(string id)     
{         
   using (var db = new dbAEntities()) {
        return View(db.Amodel.FirstOrDefault(item => item.id == id));
   }
}
