Chapter 15: Defining a typed view

[Dreamoochy]

1. On the page 645 Northwind.Mvc.Models should be imported in order to use HomeIndexViewModel:

@using Northwind.Mvc.Models
@model HomeIndexViewModel

2. On the page 646 View button should have Home/ProductDetail/ path instead of /category/:

<a class="btn btn-primary"
href="Home/ProductDetail/@Model.Categories[c].CategoryId">View</a>

1. By default in an ASP.NET Core MVC project, the _ViewImports.cshtml file imports the Northwind.Mvc.Models so it is not necessary to import it in individual Razor views:

@using Northwind.Mvc
@using Northwind.Mvc.Models
@addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers

2. The View button is for viewing the category currently shown in the carousel, not a product, so it is correct:

<div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
  <h2>@Model.Categories[c].CategoryName</h2>
  <h3>@Model.Categories[c].Description</h3>
  <p>
    <a class="btn btn-primary" href="/category/@Model.Categories[c].CategoryId">View</a>
  </p>
</div>

As mentioned on page 648, both the View button for seeing a category and the product links have not yet been implemented:

"For now, clicking on any of the categories or product links gives 404 Not Found errors, so let's see how we can implement pages that use the passed parameters to see the details of a product or category."

1. If I comment out @using Northwind.Mvc.Models I get some CS0246 error messages in VSCodium, although the project is built and run correctly.

2. Sorry. I'm too inattentive. I've mixed up products and categories.
