Question

I’m getting this error.

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type ‘System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DbQuery1[<>f__AnonymousType13[ACapture.Models.Blog,ACapture.Models.Image,ACapture.Models.Profile]]’, but this dictionary requires a model item of type ‘System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[ACapture.Models.Blog]’.

Here’s my controller.

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private ACaptureDB db = new ACaptureDB();

    public ViewResult Index()
    {
        ViewBag.Message = "ArchiCapture";
        var dateCheck = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7);

        var results = (from r in db.Blog
                      join p in db.Image on r.ImageID equals p.ImageID
                      //join l in db.Account on p.AccountID equals l.AccountID
                      join a in db.Profile on p.AccountID equals a.AccountID
                      //where r.dte_created >= dateCheck
                       select new { r, p, a });

        return View(results);
    }

Here’s my view.

@model IEnumerable<ACapture.Models.Blog>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}

<div class="Forum">
    <p>The Forum</p>

            @foreach (var item in Model)
            {
                <div class="ForumChild">
                    <img src="@item.Image.img_path" alt="Not Found" />
                    <br />
                        <table>
                            @foreach (var comment in item.comment)
                            {
                                var db = new ACapture.Models.ACaptureDB();

                                var Name = from p in db.Profile
                                           where (p.AccountID == comment.AccountID)
                                           select new { p.FirstName, p.LastName };


                                <tr><td></td><td>@comment.Commentation</td></tr>
                            }
                        </table>
                </div>                
            }
</div>

The error occurs whenever the data is passed from the controller to the view.

Also I need the data from all three tables Blog, Image, and Profile

Answer 1

Your View is expecting an IEnumerable of ACapture.Models.Blog. However, your query and join are return a new {Blog, Image, Profile}. Just like when you do a join in SQL and don’t specify the columns, you get them all back. This creates an anonymous type. You just want to select{r} for Blog
