Hi guys,
I have a View with a
Master Page. The user control makes use of a Model:
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<BudgieMoneySite.Models.SiteUserLoginModel>" %>
This user control is shown on all screens (Part of the
Master Page). If the user is logged in, it shows a certain text, and if the user isn't logged in, it offers a login box.
That is working OK.
Now, I am adding my first functional screen. So I created a new view... and, well, i generated the basic view code for me when I selected the controller method, and said 'Create View'.
My Controller has this code:
public ActionResult Transactions()
{
List<AccountTransactionDetails> trans = GetTransactions();
return View(trans);
}
private List<AccountTransactionDetails> GetTransactions()
{
List<AccountTransactionDto> trans = Services.TransactionServices.GetTransactions();
List<AccountTransactionDetails> reply = new List<AccountTransactionDetails>();
foreach(var t in trans)
{
AccountTransactionDetails a = new AccountTransactionDetails();
foreach (var line in a.Transactions)
{
AccountTransactionLine l = new AccountTransactionLine();
l.Amount = line.Amount;
l.SubCategory = line.SubCategory;
l.SubCategoryId = line.SubCategoryId;
a.Transactions.Add(l);
}
reply.Add(a);
}
return reply;
}
So, my view was generated with this:
<%@
Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.
Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<System.Collections.Generic.List<BudgieMoneySite.Models.AccountTransactionDetails>>" %>
Found <%=Model.Count() % Transactions.
All I want to show for now is the number of records I will be displaying.
When I run it, I get an error:
"The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[BudgieMoneySite.Models.AccountTransactionDetails]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'BudgieMoneySite.Models.SiteUserLoginModel'."
It looks like the user control is being rendered first, and as the Model from the controller is my List<, it's breaking!
What am I doing wrong?
