You are trying to pass a string when you have defined a method that takes Entities.Masters.Country Type as a parameter.

Don't think it's related to hidden field here. It's more of how to pass the string here. Given you know your entity definition, you need to convert this string into the expected entity and then call the GetCountriesPdf method.

If you have the id you'll need to get the Country object from the database context so that you can pass it to the function.

C#

var id = int.Parse(CountryIdHiddenField.Value);
Country country = dbContext.Countries.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
string path = GetCountriesPdf (country);

The code you show (not what you tried) would actually work if:

an instance of Entities.Masters.Country has a valid integer field or property named 'Id.

Without knowing the Type and structure of the hidden field, its relation to Entities.Masters.Country, and how you use/access it ... can't say more.
