Question

I”m working in MVC 3 with Razor views. I’ve created a page that calls a partial view

@Html.Partial("_FeaturedRatesBox")

which looks like this:

@model IEnumerable<AppleWeb.Models.RateViewer>

<div class="col">
<h3>Today's Featured Rates</h3>
<form method="post" action="">
  <div class="tabber">
    <ul class="tabs unstyled">
      <li class="selected"><a href="#tab1">Loans</a></li>
      <li><a href="#tab2">Deposits</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div class="tab" id="tab1">
    @foreach (var item in Model)
    {
        <div class="rate"> <span class="left">@item.AccountName <br />
        </span> <span class="right"> As low as <span class="percent">@item.Rate</span></span></div>
        <!-- end of rate -->
    }
    </div>
    <!-- end of tab -->
    <div class="tab" id="tab2"> Loremipsum
    </div>
    <!-- end of tab -->
    <button type="submit" class="btn alignright">Apply Now</button>
  </div>
  <!-- end of tabber -->
</form>
</div>

and the rateviewer.cs model looks like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.EntityModel;
using AppleWeb.Models;

namespace AppleWeb.Models
{
    public class RateViewer
    {
        private PublicWebEntities pubDB = new PublicWebEntities();
        public virtual IEnumerable<DepositRate> FeaturedRatesDeposit()
        {
            var data = from item in pubDB.DepositRates
                       where item.Featured.Equals(true)
                       select item;
            return data.ToList();
        }
    }
}

It errors out on the line calling the partial view and says

CS1061: ‘AppleWeb.Models.RateViewer’ does not contain a definition for ‘AccountName’ and no extension method ‘AccountName’ accepting a first argument of type ‘AppleWeb.Models.RateViewer’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly

Well AccountName and Rate are both entity names for the DepositRates Entity Object. From the DataModel.Designer file:

public static DepositRate CreateDepositRate(global::System.Int32 rateID, global::System.String accountName, global::System.Double rate, global::System.Double aPY, global::System.Int16 sortingOrder)
{
    DepositRate depositRate = new DepositRate();
    depositRate.RateID = rateID;
    depositRate.AccountName = accountName;
    depositRate.Rate = rate;
    depositRate.APY = aPY;
    depositRate.SortingOrder = sortingOrder;
    return depositRate;
}

I’d hope to make this work as such, because then I can use this model elsewhere on the site.

Answer 1

You need to iterate the IEnumerable property on your Model ie. @foreach (var item in Model.FeaturedRatesDeposit)
