I'm a little confused here, I am trying use a partial view in a for each loop like so
<% foreach (var item in (IEnumerable<MVCLD.Models.Article>)ViewData["LatestWebsites"]){%>
<% Html.RenderPartial("articlelisttemaple", item); %>
<% } %>
And my partial view looks like this
<div class="listingholders">
<h4><%=Html.ActionLink(item.ArticleTitle, "details", "article", new { UrlID = item.UrlID, ArticleName = item.ArticleTitle.ToString().niceurl() }, null)%> </h4>
<p><%= Html.Encode(item.ArticleSnippet) %></p>
<div class="clearer"> </div>
</div>
But when I run the project I get told the partial view doesn't understand what item is??
CS0103: The name 'item' does not exist in the current context
I can't see why it would be doing this as I'm passing item into the partial view?
Change partial view to:
<div class="listingholders">
<h4><%=Html.ActionLink(Model.ArticleTitle, "details", "article", new { UrlID = Model.UrlID, ArticleName = Model.ArticleTitle.ToString().niceurl() }, null)%> </h4>
<p><%= Html.Encode(Model.ArticleSnippet) %></p>
<div class="clearer"> </div>
</div>
Partial view must inherit from System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<MVCLD.Models.Article>
.
This is how first line of partial view should look like:
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<MVCLD.Models.Article>" %>
Item in the partial should be model if you have declared you're using MVCLD.Models.Article as a model for the partial !
Your partial control "articlelisttemaple.ascx" should have the following at the top of the control.
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<MVCLD.Models.Article>" %>
This indicates that the view has a model of the type : "MVCLD.Models.Article".
Instead of "item" in the partial view, you should use "Model".
