Treehouse TeacherMikkel,
Good job finding a solution to the code challenge! Just to make sure that you understood the problems with the code that you posted, I'll give you a breakdown here.
1) In the controller, the code to initialize the properties on the VideoGame model object was a bit off. The characters
property is actually Characters
with a capital "C". Also, it should be initialized to an array of string values.
Here's what the correct code should look like:
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"
}
};
2) In the view, the @model
directive had the incorrect namespace.
@model Treehouse.Models.VideoGame;
3) The code block in the view that sets the ViewBag PageTitle
property shouldn't have been changed. So, this code in the view:
@{
@Model.PageTitle = "Video Game Detail";
}
should have stayed like this:
@{
ViewBag.PageTitle = "Video Game Detail";
}
I hope this helps.
