HI guys
I have two related tables. (1) Departments and (2) Sub departments with PK and FK relationships.
I have a view with a dropdown list of DepartmentsID which updates the database Sub_Departments (or categories), However I get this error.
What am I doing wrong ?thanks
Here is the error message
InvalidOperationException: The model item passed into the ViewDataDictionary is of type 'Admin.i_EF.Classes.Departments', but this ViewDataDictionary instance requires a model item of type 'Admin.i_EF.Classes.Departments_Category'.
My classes
namespace Admin.i_EF.Classes { public class Departments_Category { [Key] public int CategoryID { get; set; } // This is the PK // [ForeignKey("DepartmentID")] public int DepartmentID { get; set; } // this is a FK public Departments Departments { get; set;} // Main class is namespace Admin.i_EF.Classes { public class Departments { [Key] public int DepartmentID { get; set; } //[Display(Name ="Department_Name")] [Required] [StringLength(150, ErrorMessage = "First name cannot be longer than 150 characters.")] public string Department_Name { get; set; } // and my view is <select asp-for="DepartmentID" class="form-control" asp-items="@(new SelectList(@ViewBag.depts,"DepartmentID","Department_Name"))"></select> //finally my controller [HttpPost] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public async Task<IActionResult> Categories_Create([Bind("DepartmentID,Product_Name")] Departments Departments_Category) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { _context.Add(Departments_Category); await _context.SaveChangesAsync(); return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index)); } return View(Departments_Category); }
