What am i doing wrong with asp.net-mvc dropdownlist?
- by Pandiya Chendur
I use a dropdownlist in one of my create.aspx but it some how doesnt seem to work...
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> FindAllMeasurements()
{
var mesurements = from mt in db.MeasurementTypes
select new SelectListItem
{
Value = mt.Id.ToString(),
Text= mt.Name
};
return mesurements;
}
and my controller,
public ActionResult Create()
{
var mesurementTypes = consRepository.FindAllMeasurements().AsEnumerable();
ViewData["MeasurementType"] = new SelectList(mesurementTypes,"Id","Name");
return View();
}
and my create.aspx has this,
<p>
<label for="MeasurementTypeId">MeasurementType:</label>
<%= Html.DropDownList("MeasurementType")%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("MeasurementTypeId", "*") %>
</p>
When i execute this i got these errors,
DataBinding: 'System.Web.Mvc.SelectListItem' does not contain a
property with the name 'Id'.
