Blazor Webassembly: error CS0131: The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, property or indexer

Question

I'm using blazor webassembly RC2. I'm currently creating a basic component, which is just a form. I'm getting some weird errors which I can not solve. It is not compiling.

It says there are problems with my assignments, but I can not see any typo or syntax error.

The compile-errors:

/.../net5.0/Razor/Components/Dashboard/ThesisRegistrationEditForm.razor.g.cs(314,388): error CS0131: The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, property or indexer [.../Client/VerwaltungAbschlussarbeiten.Client.csproj]

}

need some help. thank you

Answer 1

Try removing all the null checks from the binding, I don't think it will like this sort of thing

@bind-Value="_registerThesisDto?.FirstExaminerId"

Use a conditional instead

@if (_registerThesisDto != null)
{
  <EditForm OnValidSubmit="@Submit" Model="_registerThesisDto">
  ...
  </EditForm>
}

Then you can safely bind without the null check.

@bind-Value="_registerThesisDto.FirstExaminerId"
