Getting an error while trying to add a grid to my detail page. The error is:
The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'GridMvc.Html.HtmlGrid
1[MyApp.Models.RecipientActivityMetadata]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List
1[MyApp.Models.RecipientActivityMetadata]'.
MVC4 View is a combination of a detail page and a list. I am using a viewmodel that looks like this:
public class FormViewModel()
{
public RecipientMetadata Recipient { get; set; }
public StudentActivityMetadata StudentActivity { get; set; }
public List<RecipientActivityMetadata> RecipientActivites { get; set; }
}
The view top is:
@model MyApp.Models.ViewModels.FormViewModel
and it renders a partial view which contains the list:
@Html.Partial("_grid", Model.RecipientActivites)
and the partial looks like this:
@using GridMvc.Html
@model List<MyApp.Models.RecipientActivityMetadata>
<p>
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<div>
@Html.Grid(Model).Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Add(c => c.ActCount).Titled("Activity Num");
columns.Add(c => c.ActivityType).Titled("Activity Type");
columns.Add(c => c.FundCode).Titled("FundCode");
columns.Add(c => c.Hours).Titled("Hours");
}).WithPaging(10)
</div>
According to the documentation provided by Grid.Mvc, @Html.Grid
uses a partial view _Grid.cshtml
. Because your partial view also has same name, the solution is to use a different name for your partial view.
