Table with information from database not showing up : System.NullReferenceException - c#

So, I made a connection to a database, created a table and successfully added a "View", so that I can go to www.mysite.com/TableView and everything shows up correctly. (Generated with a razor "strongly-type view" against my database model. I used the edmx wizard to create the database connection, and that generated a separate controller aswell.
I then wanted to show the table in my index.cshtml file. I copied the code generated in the TableView view, into the correct in my index.cshtml, but it throws a System.NullReferenceException.
I cant quiet figure out why it wont work. It did work as a "standalone" view, but not when i paste it into another cshtml page?
I figured out it has something to do with the model, but why will it not work, when it worked in the other view.
Here is the code pasted into my index.cshtml from the working view :
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<div class="page-full-width cf">
<div class="content-module">
<div class="content-module-heading cf">
<h3 class="fl">Full width page</h3>
<span class="fr expand-collapse-text">Click to collapse</span>
<span class="fr expand-collapse-text initial-expand">Click to expand</span>
</div> <!-- end content-module-heading -->
<div class="content-module-main">
#model IEnumerable<WebEncode.Models.RunningJobsDb>
<p>
#Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Title)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Status)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Publish)
</th>
<th>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.User)
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Title)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Status)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Publish)

#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.User)

#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.Id }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.Id }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.Id })
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
</div> <!-- end content-module-main -->
</div> <!-- end content-module -->
And here is my RunningJobsController

using System.Data.Entity;

using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using WebEncode.Models;

}
return View(runningjobsdb);
}
//

public ActionResult DeleteConfirmed(int id)

db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
db.Dispose();
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
}
}
And the model.
namespace WebEncode.Models
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public partial class RunningJobsDb
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Status { get; set; }
public string Publish { get; set; }
public string User { get; set; }
public byte[] Remaining { get; set; }
}
}
I do know there are quiet a few questions about System.NullReference but I could not find any describing my kind of problem (may indicate I'm actually doing it in a stupid way)

I found the solution. And I feel rather stupid. I did not think about controllers and views in the right manner. After I read that the HomeController is responsible for the Views in /Home folder the issue presented itself.
I then moved the content from my RunningJobs controller, to HomeController. This way I could deliver the database content to my "Home/Index.cshtml" page with the ActionResult Index () function inside the HomeController.
The code itself was correct, the problem was me not realising the structure of MVC.

My guess is you're not passing in the model when setting the ActionResult in your controller action. The code should look something like:
return View("ViewTable", < *instance of IEnumerable< RunningJobsDB > *>)
Cheers,
Marius

You should delete first row in the table.Because your model is IEnumerable<WebEncode.Models.RunningJobsDb> not just RunningJobsDb so you can't do this without foreach loop:
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Title)
here, model represents your IEnumerable, and it doesn't contain a Title property. You can use it with foreach,but you already doing it.just delete first line, it is redundant and cause the exception.

Cant populate table with images using razor

'IEnumerable' does not contain a definition for 'ImageName' and no accessible extension method 'ImageName' accepting a first argument of type 'IEnumerable' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
Is the current error I am getting, However the way im going about this seems to be wrong if anyone can help or point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. (Aslo I am using .net core 2.1 since my school computers do not support later versions :/)

Assuming your ImageName is a file name with extention, available in that path.

I have right clicked on the Index method and created the view and still get this error can someone help me please I am new to MVC
MVC is failing to find the appropriate view as you're passing the wrong object to your view. At present, 'products' is just a string representation of db.Products, whereas your index view wants an IEnumerable<Product>
Change
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index()
{
var products = db.Products.ToString();
return View(products);
}
To
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index()
{
var products = db.Products.ToList(); //Or some other IENUM
return View(products);
}

I am getting MVC5 error (cannot be constructed in a LINQ to Entities query)

Every time I launched webpage for Index I keep getting this error. I cannot figure out the issue. It might be something simple I am over looking. If anyone has an idea that would be very much appreciated. I am not sure if the error is from the paging or the search feature.

This is homework, and I looked up similar questions, but I'm too code-challenged to know exactly how the syntax should be from the examples. This is an ASP.NET MVC app in Visual Studio, C#. This is what I get when I run it.
When I click on "Edit" or "Details" I want it to go to a page where a bike can be edited or details entered. Right now, it's going to the original assignment's index page, which has nothing to do with this, but the professor wants all of our assignments in one project:

You are never setting your BikeID, this needs to be unique
Also i'm have not sure what this is for
public int bike { get; set; }
in your BikeController try explicitly setting the id's
new Bike() { BikeID = 1},
new Bike { Manufacturer = "Nishiki", Gears = 5, Frame = "Road", BikeID = 2 }
Also check your routing, in Global.asax there will
make sure routing is set up, this should be in either your global.asax or App_Start/RouteConfig.cs
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }

Foreign Key Just showing a number which is associated with the primary key

I want a way in which I can display the value of the Foreign key rather then displaying a number. For example I have the following view to show all reviews:
#model IEnumerable<Games.Models.tblReview>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
<p>
#Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>
ReviewID
</th>
<th>
Recomendation
</th>
<th>
AvoidOrBuy
</th>
<th>
Score
</th>
<th>
GameIDFK
</th>
<th>
UserName
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.ReviewID)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Recomendation)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.AvoidOrBuy)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Score)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.GameIDFK)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.UserName)
</td>
<td>
#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.ReviewID }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ })
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
I want a way in which the GameIDFK shows the name of the game rather then a number my controller to show this information is basic will show you here:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Games.Models;
namespace Games.Controllers
{
public class ShowAllReviewsController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/
public ActionResult Index()
{
using (var db = new gamezoneDBEntities())
{
return View(db.tblReviews.ToList());
}
}
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/Details/5
public ActionResult Details(int id)
{
return View();
}
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/Create
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}
//
// POST: /ShowAllReviews/Create
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(FormCollection collection)
{
try
{
// TODO: Add insert logic here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/Edit/5
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
return View();
}
//
// POST: /ShowAllReviews/Edit/5
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection collection)
{
try
{
// TODO: Add update logic here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
//
// GET: /ShowAllReviews/Delete/5
public ActionResult Delete(int id)
{
return View();
}
//
// POST: /ShowAllReviews/Delete/5
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Delete(int id, FormCollection collection)
{
try
{
// TODO: Add delete logic here
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
}
}
Is there a way in which i can obtain the game Foreign Key as this site is going to be used for new coming gamers and I want tos how which games are good play dont want a user clicking on a review and seeing just a number and no game name.
Can you please help
EDIT:
I used the following in my view:
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.tblGame.GameName)
But it crashses and gives the following error:
The ObjectContext instance has been disposed and can no longer be used for operations that require a connection.
EDIT 2:
namespace Games.Models
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public partial class tblReview
{
public int ReviewID { get; set; }
public string Recomendation { get; set; }
public string AvoidOrBuy { get; set; }
public string Score { get; set; }
public int GameIDFK { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public virtual tblGame tblGame { get; set; }
}
You might want to consider using ViewModel classes, but I think if you amend your controller to use something like
return View(db.tblReviews.Include("tblGame").ToList());
You would be able to use the property in your view as you have posted above.
