Question

So I’m chugging along on this MVC application and all is running smoothly. I get up to fix a bite to eat and the next time I build I’m greeted with 4 of these errors:

> Error 16  Cannot implicitly convert type
> 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<>
> [c:\Program Files (x86)\Reference  Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\mscorlib.dll]'
> to
> 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<>
> [c:\Program Files (x86)\Reference  Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\mscorlib.dll]'.
> An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Keep in mind that there is actually something in IEnumerable<>, I just removed it.

This is the 2 classes where the errors are at

    public partial class PriceListController : Controller
    {

        [CanonicalUrlAttribute("PriceList")]
        [CompressionFilter(Order = 1)]
        [CacheFilter(Duration = 120, Order = 2)]
        public virtual ActionResult Index()
        {
            GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities context = new GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities();
            var viewModel = new PriceListViewModel() { PriceListAnimals = context.GetAnimalListForPriceList() };
            return View(viewModel);
        }


        [CompressionFilter(Order = 1)]
        [CacheFilter(Duration = 120, Order = 2)]
        public virtual ActionResult List(string animal)
        {
            GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities context = new GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities();

            var viewModel = new PriceListIndexViewModel() { AnimalPrices = context.GetPriceListByAnimal(animal) };
            return View(viewModel);
        }

    }
public partial class GalleryController : Controller
{
    //
    // GET: /Gallery/
    [CanonicalUrlAttribute("Gallery")]
    [CompressionFilter(Order = 1)]
    [CacheFilter(Duration = 120, Order = 2)]
    public virtual ActionResult Index()
    {
        GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities context = new GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities();
        var viewModel = new GalleryIndexViewModel() { GalleryAnimals = context.GetAnimalListForGallery() };
        return View(viewModel);
    }


    [CompressionFilter(Order = 1)]
    [CacheFilter(Duration = 120, Order = 2)]
    public virtual ActionResult List(string animal)
    {
        GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities context = new GodsCreationTaxidermyEntities();

        var viewModel = new GalleryListViewModel() { GalleryImages = context.GetGalleryImageByAnimal(animal) };
        return View(viewModel);

    }

}

I’ve checked the DAL and Repository and no errors coming from there.

Answer 1

Got those errors resolved, it was my fault because I was calling the wrong methods from the DAL/Repository.
