I finished NerdDinner tutorial and now I'm playing a bit with project. Index page shows all upcoming dinners:
public ActionResult Index()
{
var dinners = dinnerRepository.FindUpComingDinners().ToList();
return View(dinners);
}
In DinnerRepository class I have method FindAllDinners
and I would like to add to above Index method number of all dinners, something like this:
public ActionResult Index()
{
var dinners = dinnerRepository.FindUpComingDinners().ToList();
var numberOfAllDinners = dinnerRepository.FindAllDinners().Count();
return View(dinners, numberOfAllDinners);
}
Of course, this doesn't work. As I'm pretty new to OOP I would need help with this one.
Thanks,
Ile
Create view model:
public class DinnerViewModel
{
public List<Dinner> Dinners { get; set; }
public int NumberOfAllDinners { get; set; }
}
public ActionResult Index()
{
var dinners = dinnerRepository.FindUpComingDinners().ToList();
var numberOfAllDinners = dinnerRepository.FindAllDinners().Count();
return View(new DinnerViewModel { Dinners = dinners, NumberOfAllDinners = numberOfAllDinners } );
}
