i'm still finding feet asp.net mvc.

i want generate details view viewmodel i'm not getting controller right saying i'm passing incorrect type of model view.

the controller is:

    public actionresult clubdetails(int clubid)     {         //populate view         var clubs = s in db.clubs                     orderby s.name                     select s;         var viewmodel = clubs.select(t => new clubdetailsviewmodel         {             name = t.name,             shortname = t.shortname,             founded = t.founded,             contactname = t.firstname + " " + t.lastname,             address1 = t.address1,             address2 = t.address2,             city = t.city,             county = t.county,             postcode = t.postcode,             telephone = t.telephone,             email = t.email,             bio = t.bio,             website = t.website,         });         return view(viewmodel);     } 

the viewmodel is:

    public class clubdetailsviewmodel {     [display(name = "club name")]     public string name { get; set; }      [display(name = "abbreviation")]     public string shortname { get; set; }      [display(name = "founded")]     [datatype(datatype.date)]     [displayformat(dataformatstring = "{0:dd/mm/yyyy}", applyformatineditmode = true)]     public datetime? founded { get; set; }      [display(name = "contact name")]     public string contactname { get; set; }      [display(name = "address 1")]     public string address1 { get; set; }      [display(name = "address 2")]     public string address2 { get; set; }      [display(name = "city")]     public string city { get; set; }      [display(name = "county")]     public string county { get; set; }      [display(name = "postcode")]     public string postcode { get; set; }      [display(name = "telephone")]     public string telephone { get; set; }      [emailaddress]     [display(name = "email")]     public string email { get; set; }      [display(name = "website")]     [url]     public string website { get; set; }      [display(name = "bio")]     public string bio { get; set; } } 

the view is:

@model grcwebapp.viewmodels.clubdetailsviewmodel  @{ viewbag.title = "clubdetails"; }  <h2>clubdetails</h2>  <div> <h4>clubdetailsviewmodel</h4> <hr /> <dl class="dl-horizontal">     <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.name)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.name)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.shortname)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.shortname)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.founded)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.founded)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.contactname)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.contactname)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.address1)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.address1)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.address2)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.address2)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.city)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.city)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.county)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.county)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.postcode)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.postcode)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.telephone)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.telephone)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.email)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.email)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.website)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.website)     </dd>      <dt>         @html.displaynamefor(model => model.bio)     </dt>      <dd>         @html.displayfor(model => model.bio)     </dd>  </dl> </div> <p> @html.actionlink("edit", "edit", new { /* id = model.primarykey */ }) | @html.actionlink("back list", "index") </p> 

you're passing ienumerable<clubdetailsviewmodel>, not clubdetailsviewmodel. want filter clubs , pick one, instead of doing of them. this:

var viewmodel = db.clubs     .where(t => t.clubid == clubid)     .select(t => new clubdetailsviewmodel     { .. })     .firstordefault(); return view(viewmodel);
