CS1579: foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'object' because 'object' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

I've tried to remove my dbml and re-create it following your pattern.  I have a Calls table that I have dropped onto my Call model.

Not sure if there's a difference between C# and VB that's biting me here, or if I'm simply missing a step.

Good video overall... high quality video and audio, good presentation.

<% foreach (var c in (IEnumerable)ViewData.Model) { %>

The other option is to use a strongly typed view. When you create a strongly-typed view, you specify the type of the ViewData.Model property in your code-behind class.

<% foreach (Project p in (IEnumerable)ViewData.Model)

  { %>

       <%= Html.RenderUserControl (ViewData.Model, "~/Views/Home/ProjectTemplate.ascx", p); %>

<% } %>

The error message is 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'RenderUserControl' and no extension method 'RenderUserControl' acceptin a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' could be found.

I have the following in the Index.aspx.cs:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Mvc;

using MvcCorporate.Models;

namespace MvcCorporate.Views.Home

{

   public partial class Index : ViewPage

   {

   }

}

How do I get access to the RenderUserControl?

Let say we want to display 2 different LinkToSql Queries (Top 5 New Releases and Movies directed by  Steven Spielberg)

How we do that if return View on the Controller only accepts one Model object?

I've looked at a lot of the tutorial videos, which are amazing btw, and i can follow along quite nicely.

I tried a simple Mvc application using Linq2SQL and C#.

I'm getting an "InvalidCastException was unhandled by user code" error when i try to display my client table the same as in the video (except i'm doing it in C#).

this is my code.

AdminController:

       public ActionResult ClientList()

       {

           myDataContext dataContext = new myDataContext();

           var client = from c in dataContext.Clients   select c;

 return View(client);

}

clientList.aspx:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ClientList.aspx.cs" Inherits="cbia.Views.Admin.ClientList" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="MvcApplication1.Models" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">

   <table border="1">

   <tr>

       <td>test data</td>

   </tr>

       <%            

           foreach (Client c in (IEnumerable)ViewData.Model)

           {

       %>

       <tr>

           <td>

               <%= c.name%>

           </td>

           <td>

               <%= c.address%>

           </td>

           <td>

               <%= c.isActive%>

           </td>

       </tr>

       <% } %>

   </table>

</asp:Content>

I would appreciate any guidance in this matter!

I managed to fix the problem by erasing all the tables from my .dbml file and re-import the tables, i suppose the project was corrupt or something, hence why i was getting the exception.

~/Views/Home/Index.aspx :

=========================

<%@ Import Namespace="MvcSample.Models"%>

...

<%

foreach (Movie m in (IEnumerable) ViewData.Model) {

Html.RenderPartial("~/Views/Home/MovieTemplate.ascx", m);

}

%>

NOTE: "RenderUserControl()" does not exist. I'm guessing it was replaced with "Html.RenderPartial()" which is what I used above.

~/Views/Home/MovieTemplate.ascx:

================================

<%@ Import Namespace="MvcSample.Models"%>

<tr>

<td><%= (ViewData.Model as Movie).Id %></td>

<td><%= Server.HtmlEncode((ViewData.Model as Movie).Title)%></td>

<td><%= (ViewData.Model as Movie).DateReleased.ToShortDateString()%></td>

</tr>

NOTE: There is no code behind file for this control. None was ever created. I can't see any way to strongly type the current record except to use "(ViewData.Model as Movie)" as I did in my code above. Is there a better way to do this?
