Question

I’m having trouble passing view information from my Get/Create action to my view. Here are my three model classes;

public class Competition
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int CompetitionId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Prize { get; set; }
}

public class CompetitionEntry
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int CompetitionEntryId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public int CompetitionId { get; set; }
}

public class CompetitionEntryViewModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public Competition Competitions { get; set; }
    public int CompetitionId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; } 
}

Here is my Get/Create action in CompetitionEntry Controller;

public ActionResult Create(int id)
{
    CompetitionEntryViewModel competitionentryviewmodel = db.CompetitionEntriesView.Find(id);
    return View(competitionentryviewmodel);
}

I know this doesn’t work. The id parameter goes into the URL fine. How to I get access to my Competition class in th Get action? I need to be able to show the competion name on my Create Competition entry view.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

public ActionResult Create(int id)
{
      var data = db.CompetitionEntriesView.Find(id);

      CompetitionEntryViewModel competitionentryviewmodel = new CompetitionEntryViewModel();
      competitionentryviewmodel.CompetitionName = data.Name;

      return View(competitionentryviewmodel);
}
