It’s actually pretty though not very easy to grasp and I couldn’t really find any information about my little problem but here is my explanation on how to get it working! :)
All you need to do is:
<%= Html.DropDownList("CustomerID") %>And this is why. I know it says that the DropDownList takes a SelectList as a second parameter but you actually supposed to solve this issue in the controller (And this is a very good solution since it makes the presentation layer way less cluttered (logic should NOT be in the Views)!
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
var invoiceRepository = new InvoiceRepository(1);
var invoice = invoiceRepository.GetSingle(id);
IList<Product> products = invoiceRepository.GetProducts(id);
IList<Workday> workdays = invoiceRepository.GetWorkdays(id);
invoice.CompanyReference.Load();
int companyId = invoice.Company.ID;
ICriterion<Customer> criterion =
new Criterion<Customer>(c => c.Company.ID == companyId);
var repository = new Repository();
IList<Customer> customers = repository.GetAll(criterion);
ViewData["Products"] = products;
ViewData["Workdays"] = workdays;
ViewData["CustomerID"] = new SelectList(customers, "ID", "Name");
ViewData["Invoice"] = invoice;
return View(invoice);
}What I do here is to tell the the presentation layer that the CustomerID contains a SelectList of Customer and that the value field is ID and the display field is Name. Then
MVC handles this for you!
