Here is my BlogPost Model class:
public class BlogPost
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
[AllowHtml]
public string ShortDescription { get; set; }
[AllowHtml]
public string PostBody { get; set; }
public string Meta { get; set; }
public string UrlSlug { get; set; }
public DateTime PostedOn { get; set; }
public DateTime? Modified { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<BlogPostCategory> Categories { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<BlogPostTag> Tags { get; set; }
}
Here is my BlogPostCategory Model class:
public class BlogPostCategory
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string UrlSlug { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
// Decared virtual because the data must be returned from another table.
public virtual ICollection<BlogPost> BlogPosts { get; set; }
}
Each class belongs to a separate Controller/View.
Finally, here is the top port of the Index View for Blog:
@model IEnumerable<MyBlogSite.Models.BlogPost>
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
@Html.RenderPartial("~/Views/Category/_Categories.cshtml", Model.Categories );
<p>
@Html.ActionLink("New Blog Post", "Create")
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>
@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Title)
</th>
....
In the View where Model.Categories is being passed in is where I am getting the exception from the title of this post. It seems to me that I have defined Categories within the BlogPost Model. What am I doing wrong?
