I want a way in which I can display the value of the Foreign key rather then displaying a number. For example I have the following view to show all reviews:
@model IEnumerable<Games.Models.tblReview>
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
<p>
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>
ReviewID
</th>
<th>
Recomendation
</th>
<th>
AvoidOrBuy
</th>
<th>
Score
</th>
<th>
GameIDFK
</th>
<th>
UserName
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
@foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.ReviewID)
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Recomendation)
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.AvoidOrBuy)
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Score)
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.GameIDFK)
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.UserName)
</td>
<td>
@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ }) |
@Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.ReviewID }) |
@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ })
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
I want a way in which the GameIDFK shows the name of the game rather then a number my controller to show this information is basic will show you here:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Games.Models;
namespace Games.Controllers
{
public class ShowAllReviewsController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/
public ActionResult Index()
{
using (var db = new gamezoneDBEntities())
{
return View(db.tblReviews.ToList());
}
}
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/Details/5
public ActionResult Details(int id)
{
return View();
}
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/Create
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}
//
// POST: /ShowAllReviews/Create
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(FormCollection collection)
{
try
{
// TODO: Add insert logic here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/Edit/5
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
return View();
}
//
// POST: /ShowAllReviews/Edit/5
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection collection)
{
try
{
// TODO: Add update logic here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/Delete/5
public ActionResult Delete(int id)
{
return View();
}
//
// POST: /ShowAllReviews/Delete/5
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Delete(int id, FormCollection collection)
{
try
{
// TODO: Add delete logic here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
}
}
Is there a way in which i can obtain the game Foreign Key as this site is going to be used for new coming gamers and I want tos how which games are good play dont want a user clicking on a review and seeing just a number and no game name.
Can you please help
EDIT:
I used the following in my view:
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.tblGame.GameName)
But it crashses and gives the following error:
The ObjectContext instance has been disposed and can no longer be used for operations that require a connection.
EDIT 2:
namespace Games.Models
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public partial class tblReview
{
public int ReviewID { get; set; }
public string Recomendation { get; set; }
public string AvoidOrBuy { get; set; }
public string Score { get; set; }
public int GameIDFK { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public virtual tblGame tblGame { get; set; }
}

You might want to consider using ViewModel classes, but I think if you amend your controller to use something like
return View(db.tblReviews.Include("tblGame").ToList());
You would be able to use the property in your view as you have posted above.
