In Report.cshtml update the Html.Label method call for the "Name" field to its strongly typed version Html.LabelFor.

Does anyone have a passing answer for challenge 2 and 3?

Report.cshtml
@model IssueReporter.Models.Issue

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

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    <div>
        @Html.LabelFor (model => M)
        @Html.TextBox("Name")
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.Label("Email")
        @Html.TextBox("Email")
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.Label("DepartmentId")
        @Html.TextBox("DepartmentId")
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.Label("Severity")
        @Html.TextBox("Severity")
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.Label("Reproducible")
        @Html.TextBox("Reproducible")
    </div>

    <div>
        @Html.Label("DescriptionOfProblem")
        @Html.TextArea("DescriptionOfProblem")
    </div>

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

You're on the right track here.

@Html.LabelFor (model => M)

LabelFor takes an function here. So far, your function takes a model, and you want to access a property on that model. How would you normally access a property on an object?

That's what you'll add to the right of =>. As a hint, M isn't in scope here, so you need to change it to the variable name that you've defined to the left of =>.
