Challenge Task 2 of 2
Update the Detail.cshtml view to be a strongly typed view. Add a model directive to strongly type the view using the Treehouse.Models.VideoGame data model type. Replace the ViewBag Title, Description, and Characters property references with the respective Model properties.
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Treehouse.Models;
namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
public class VideoGamesController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Detail()
{
var videoGame = new VideoGame()
{
Title = "Super Mario 64",
Description = "Super Mario 64 is a 1996 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64.",
Characters = new string[]
{
"Mario",
"Princess Peach",
"Bowser",
"Toad",
"Yoshi"
}
};
return View(videoGame);
}
}
}
@model Treehouse.Models.VideoGame
@{
Model.PageTitle = "Video Game Detail";
}
<h1>@Model.Title</h1>
<h5>Description:</h5>
<div>@Model.Description</div>
<h5>Characters:</h5>
<div>
<ul>
@foreach (var character in Model.Characters)
{
<li>@character</li>
}
</ul>
</div>
namespace Treehouse.Models
{
// Don't make any changes to this class!
public class VideoGame
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public string[] Characters { get; set; }
public string Publisher { get; set; }
public string DisplayText
{
get
{
return Title + " (" + Publisher + ")";
}
}
}
}

You need to change the PageTitle property as well to pass this challenge. It's unfortunate that this isn't listed in the code challenge, but that's what I had to change to pass it:
@model Treehouse.Models.VideoGame
@{
ViewBag.PageTitle = Model.DisplayText;
}
<h1>@Model.Title</h1>
<h5>Description:</h5>
<div>@Model.Description</div>
<h5>Characters:</h5>
<div>
<ul>
@foreach (var character in Model.Characters)
{
<li>@character</li>
}
</ul>
</div>

Courses Plus Student 5,535 PointsGrrrrr. I hate these issues! Had the same problem. And the "Bummer: Did you remove the 'ViewBag.Title' property assignment to 'Video Game Detail'?" was ambiguous. Thank you for the help!

12,539 PointsI added the @model Treehouse.Models.VideoGame as someone suggested. I also replaced every ViewBag with model. I've tried upper and lower case m.
