Did anyone else have this problem??

Hi everyone,

I had a problem creating the Details View from the code on page 48(pdf) with the following code (copied from that page). The error:

The type or namespace name, 'Objects' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Data'...

Code:


//
// GET: /Dinners/Details/2

 
public ActionResult Details(int id) {

Dinner dinner = dinnerRepository.GetDinner(id);
 
 

if (dinner == null)
 
 

    return View("NotFound");
 
 

else
   return 

View("Details", dinner);
 
 
}

and could not fix the problem until I changed the classname 'Dinner' to the keyword 'var' like so:

Code:

var dinner = dinnerRepository.GetDinner(id);

I've looked over my Dinner.cs code and don't see any errors. Can anyone explain what happened there?

Thanks,
Bill

Do you have the using NerdDinner.Models? If I comment it out I see there would be a problem. But from your first code snippet Dinner is colored as a keyword.

To answer your question I do not have the problem you are having nor needed to use var.
