Question

i need to access data from a table and from a view on a particular page, so i made a class that can access them both. looks like this `

namespace LoanManager.Models
{
    public class Loan_vwFieldValues
    {
        public Loan loan { get; set; }
        public VW_FIELD_VALUE vwFieldValues { get; set; }

    }
}

at the top of my page i have this

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IEnumerable<LoanManager.Models.Loan_vwFieldValues>>" %>

then i have this my controller after some other other code that works.

return View(_db.LOAN_VWFIELDVALESs.Where(predicate));

and my definition for that looks like this.

public System.Data.Linq.Table<Loan_vwFieldValues> LOAN_VWFIELDVALESs
        {
            get
            {
                return this.GetTable<Loan_vwFieldValues>();
            }
        }

this works fine for all the rest of my pages (they have different names of course), but they are not a class, they just reference one table or a view i have made, but this page needs to access a table and a view, but it complains when it gets to this last part of posted code(return statement) and says that Loan_vwFieldValues is not mapped as a table, which is true because it is NOT a table,
i also have this to fill the Loan_vwFieldValues

public ActionResult LoanProperties(int id)
    {
        Loan_vwFieldValues l = new Loan_vwFieldValues();

        l.loan = (from a in _db.Loans where a.LOAN_ID == id select a).First();
        l.vwFieldValues = (from v in _db.VW_FIELD_VALUEs where v.Loan_ID == id select v).First();

        return View(l);

    }

but how can i get this to work with my class?
thank you in advance.

Answer 1

You need to create a collection of Loan_vwFieldValues and return that. We don’t have enough information to tell you how to construct those objects from your data access layer.

In other words…

return View(_db.LOAN_VWFIELDVALESs.Where(predicate).Select(
  x => new Loan_vwFieldValues()
  {
     loan = yourCodeHere,
     vwFieldValues = moreOfYourCodeHere
  }));
