I am forever in debtted to you and I wish to give you my last goat so you can enjoy its warm milk every morning. xx

Please share code to see exactly how everything is tied together. Thanks.

I have a table called Company that has unique identifier as a primary key but also have an integer field called firm_number which is also unique. How do I implement the controller and views to work with the firm_number ?

I was able to create Details and Edit view that expect firm_number as a parameter but the Edit link at the bottom of the Details view refers to an Edit view that expects unique identifier as input parameter.

thanks

code I have as per the example:

[TestMethod]

public void Index_Should_Return_1_Or_More_Dinners()

{

//Arrange

var controller = new DinnerController(new Fakes.FakeDinnerRepository());

//Act

var result = controller.Index() as ViewResult;

//Assert

var data = result.ViewData.Model as IList<Dinner>;

Assert.IsTrue(data.Count >= 0);

}

var data = result.ViewData.Model as IList<Dinner>;

Yet, holding the cursor over result.ViewData.Model allows me to inspect the results view and this reveals the expected results list

So, somehow, there appears to be an issue pushing the model into a List - but I'm getting no errors reported - it's a black hole

var data = (LList<Dinner>) result.ViewData.Model;

I get the error:

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Linq.EnumerableQuery`1[Nerddinner.Model.Dinner]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IList`1...

But this at least works:

int i = 0;

//Assert

foreach (var item in result.ViewData.Model as IEnumerable<Dinner>)

{

i++;

}

Assert.IsTrue(i >= 0);

I should point out I'm pretty new to C#, Linq To SQL and ASP.NET MVC

[TestMethod]

public void Index_Should_Return_1_or_More_Dinners()

{

var contorller = new DinnerController(new Fakes.FakeDinnerRepository());

var result = contorller.Index() as ViewResult;

IEnumerable<Dinner> data = result.ViewData.Model as IEnumerable<Dinner>;

Assert.IsTrue(data.Count() > 0);

}

public ActionResult Index()

{

var dinners = _repository.FindAllDinners().ToList();

return View(dinners);

}

Really, It is very useful.
