ASP.NET MVC Viewmodel trouble...
- by ile
I've already started similar topic, but still didn't find final solution...
So here I am with new one :) ... I'm developing NerdDinner from scratch and now I came to point where I define DinnerViewModel.
Following these instructions (starting from Listing 5) I came to this:
namespace Nerd.Controllers
{
// View Model Classes
public class DinnerViewModel
{
public DinnerViewModel(List<Dinner> dinners)
{
this.Dinners = dinners;
}
public List<Dinner> Dinners { get; private set; }
}
public class DinnerController : Controller
{
private DinnerRepository dinnerRepository = new DinnerRepository();
....
public ActionResult NewDinners()
{
// Create list of products
var dinners = new List<Dinner>();
dinners.Add(new Dinner(/*Something to add*/));
// Return view
return View(new DinnerViewModel(dinners));
}
}
}
Also, the Dinner table in this new version of NerdDinner is a bit shortened (it contains of DinnerID, Title, EventDate and Description fields).
No matter what I try to add here dinners.Add(new Dinner(/*Something to add*/)); I always get following error
Error 1 'Nerd.Model.Dinner' does not
contain a constructor that takes '1'
arguments C:\Documents and
Settings\ilija\My Documents\Visual
Studio
2008\Projects\Nerd\Nerd\Controllers\DinnerController.cs 150 25 Nerd
Because I'm total beginner in C# and generally OOP, I have no idea what to do here... I suppose I need to declare a constructor, but how and where exactly?
Thanks,
Ile
