Question

I am using LINQ and sending a linq object to the view and trying to show it in a textbox like this

<%=Html.TextBox("petname",Model.PetName) %>

But I am getting error, please suggest how can I show (PetRecord.PetName) which is my linq entity

Thanks

Answer 1

What does your Inherits property look like:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %> 

It should inherit whatever model you’re sending to the view:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<PetRecord>" %> 

And you should be sending the following to your view from the controller:

public ActionResult ShowPet(int petId)
{
    PetRecord pet = repository.GetPetById(petId);
    return View(pet);
}
