I have this issue when I use my view page to create a patient:
InvalidOperationException: The model item passed into the ViewDataDictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[PatientHut.Data.Models.Patient]', but this ViewDataDictionary instance requires a model item of type 'PatientHut.Data.Models.Patient'.
I am not sure how to resolve my issue, I have been trying for hours. I am sure it is a simple fix.
Actually, I just realized that all my pages in the view when I try to run this comes up with the same error. What am I doing wrong?
My Model:
namespace PatientHut.Data.Models
{
public enum Gender
{
Male, Female
}
public class Patient
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public Gender Gender { get; set; }
public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
public string EmailAddress { get; set; }
public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public int Age => (DateTime.Now - DateOfBirth).Days / 365;
//EF Relationship - A Patient can have many bookings
public IList<AppointmentBooking> Bookings { get; set; } = new
List<AppointmentBooking>();
}
}
My services:
public Patient AddPatient(Patient u) ///!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
//an Id to check(its new).
{
var existing = GetPatientByEmail(u.EmailAddress); //check if user has same email
address when creating a new user
if (existing != null)
{
return null;
//if no user the same is found return null
}
{
var user = new Patient //create new user object
{
Name = u.Name,
Gender = u.Gender,
DateOfBirth = u.DateOfBirth,
EmailAddress = u.EmailAddress,
PhoneNumber = u.PhoneNumber,
Address = u.Address,
//Add users details
};
db.Patients.Add(user); // Add to the DB
db.SaveChanges(); //SaveChanges to the DB
return user; // returning new user
}
}
My controller
public Patient AddPatient(Patient u) ///!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
//an Id to check(its new).
{
var existing = GetPatientByEmail(u.EmailAddress); //check if user has same email
address when creating a new user
if (existing != null)
{
return null;
//if no user the same is found return null
}
{
var user = new Patient //create new user object
{
Name = u.Name,
Gender = u.Gender,
DateOfBirth = u.DateOfBirth,
EmailAddress = u.EmailAddress,
PhoneNumber = u.PhoneNumber,
Address = u.Address,
//Add users details
};
db.Patients.Add(user); // Add to the DB
db.SaveChanges(); //SaveChanges to the DB
return user; // returning new user
}
}
My view
@model PatientHut.Data.Models.Patient

ViewData["Title"] = "Create";
