Question

I got an error “There is no ViewData item of type ‘IEnumerable’ that has the key ‘TIMEZONE'”.

View

        <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<EventListing.Models.EventInfo>" %>               
        <%= Html.DropDownList("TIMEZONE", (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewData["TIMEZONE"], "Select Timezone")%>

Controller

ViewData["TIMEZONE"] = new SelectList(EventModel.getTIMEZOMES, "Key", "Value");
return View();

Model Page

public static IList<KeyValuePair<string, string>> getTIMEZOMES
        {
            get
            {
                Dbhelper DbHelper = new Dbhelper();
                IList<KeyValuePair<String, String>> Timezone = new List<KeyValuePair<String, String>>();
                DbCommand cmd = DbHelper.GetSqlStringCommond("SELECT * FROM TMP_TIMEZONES");
                DbDataReader Datareader = DbHelper.ExecuteReader(cmd);
                while (Datareader.Read())
                {
                    Timezone.Add(new KeyValuePair<String, String>(Datareader["ABBR"].ToString(), Datareader["NAME"].ToString()));
                }

                return Timezone;
            }
        }

Plz Give the solution.

One possible reason could be, In the controller, you may not be getting the data into the ViewData["TimeZone"]. Try to debug it and see what you are getting.
