I am trying to render list of checkboxes from an external db table BUT I keep getting this error: Cannot implicitely convert type 'int' to 'bool'.
I am guessing its not happy b/c of my strongly type view which returns a list. Can anyone please help. Thank you in advance.
my model
public partial class tblCity
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int IsSelected { get; set; }
}
my view
@model List<Demo.Models.Sample>
@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m[i].ID) **Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'bool'**
}
This is because you are giving it an int
@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m[i].ID) <- ID is an Int
}
You'd need to give it a bool. Maybe IsSelected was supposed to be a bool, and that was what you were looking for?
public partial class tblCity
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool IsSelected { get; set; }
}
Then the view
@model List<Demo.Models.Sample>
@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
@Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m[i].IsSelected )
}
