What am i doing wrong here.
Course has a Teacher navigation property, I am calling the Lastname property on that.
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Course
{
public Course()
{
Students = new List<CourseStudent>();
}
public int Id { get; set; }
public int TeacherId { get; set; }
[Required, StringLength(200)]
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public int Length { get; set; }
public Teacher Teacher { get; set; }
public ICollection<CourseStudent> Students { get; set; }
}
}
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public static class Repository
{
public static List<Course> GetCourses()
{
using (var context = new Context())
{
return context.Courses.ToList();
}
}
public static List<Course> GetCoursesByTeacher(string lastName)
{
using (var context = new Context())
{
return context.Courses
.Where(c => c.Teacher.LastName =="lastName")
.ToList();
}
}
}
}
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Teacher
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
}
}

231,198 PointsPutting quotes around something creates a string literal. When referencing a variable, never put quotes around the variable name.
.Where(c => c.Teacher.LastName == lastName)
