C# Radio Buttons

Question

In Report.cshtml add two more calls to the Html.RadioButtonFor HTML helper method to render the radio buttons for the "Major" and "Critical" SeverityLevel enumeration values.

Given Code
@model IssueReporter.Models.Issue
@using IssueReporter.Models

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Report an Issue";
}

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Email)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DepartmentId)
        @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.DepartmentId, (SelectList)ViewBag.DepartmentsSelectListItems)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Severity)
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity, 
            Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Reproducible)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Reproducible)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
        @Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
    </div>

    <button type="submit">Save</button>
}

My Answer
@model IssueReporter.Models.Issue
@using IssueReporter.Models
@using IssueReporter.Entry.SeverityLevel
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Report an Issue";
}

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Email)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DepartmentId)
        @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.DepartmentId, (SelectList)ViewBag.DepartmentsSelectListItems)
    </div>

     <div>
           @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Severity)
             <div>
                 @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity, 
                    Entry.SeverityLevel.Major) @Entry.SeverityLevel.Major
                 @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity, 
                    Entry.SeverityLevel.Critical) @Entry.SeverityLevel.Critical
            </div>

      </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Reproducible)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Reproducible)
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
        @Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.DescriptionOfProblem)
    </div>

    <button type="submit">Save</button>
}

`` Error: Bummer! Did you remove any of the provided code?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

```Report.cshtml
@model IssueReporter.Models.Issue
@using IssueReporter.Models

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Report an Issue";
}

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm())

    <div>

        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name)

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Email)

    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.DepartmentId)

    <div>

You might of just been overthinking it.

<div>
        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Severity)
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity, 
            Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Minor
      @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity, 
            Issue.SeverityLevel.Major) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Major
      @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Severity, 
            Issue.SeverityLevel.Critical) @Issue.SeverityLevel.Critical
    </div>

Do only what the instructions ask.

The challenge says, "add two more calls to the Html.RadioButtonFor HTML helper method...". So do only that to pass the challenge. In particular:

  • do not add additional using statement(s)
  • do not add additional HTML elements (such as <div>)
  • do not remove the original radiobutton for the "Minor" level
