Hi all, i am new to MVC2.

I am trying to bind a simple gridview. i am tring this for last 1 week.
I found a lot of code in google. but i m very much confused to implement it.

I want code to bind gridview in mvc2 not mvc3 or something else. i want it in mvc2 only.

My code as follow.
When i am running this, its giving error in view page, at foreach loop as Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

MODEL:

C#

public class Users
    {
        string ConnString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnString"].ToString();
        DataSet ds;
       
        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Id")]
        public int ID { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Name")]
        public string UserName { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Age")]
        public int Age { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Gender")]
        public string Gender { get; set; }


        public DataTable GetGridData()
        {
            try
            {
                ds = new DataSet();
                SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConnString);
                SqlDataAdapter ada = new SqlDataAdapter("Select Id,Name,Age,Gender from Emp", ConnString);
                ada.Fill(ds);
                return ds.Tables[0];
            }
            catch (Exception err)
            {
                throw err;
            }
        }
    }

CONTROLLER:

C#

public class GridController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Grid/

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            DataTable dtGrid = new DataTable();
            Users objGrid = new Users();
            dtGrid = objGrid.GetGridData();

            List<users> Gridd = new List<users>();

            foreach (DataRow dr in dtGrid.Rows)
            {
                Users users = new Users();
                users.ID = Convert.ToInt32(dr["ID"]);
                users.UserName = dr["Name"].ToString();
                users.Age = Convert.ToInt32(dr["Age"]);
                users.Gender = dr["Gender"].ToString();

                Gridd.Add(users);
            }
            return View("Index", Gridd);
        }
    }

Hi there,

*facepalm* Aren't you guys generating the views for a specific model? Install 'ReSharper' on your VS, it helps a lot to overcome these simple mistakes.

Just add @Model List<Users> to the beginning of your view file.

Hope this helps, Regards

hi.. CodeHawkz

Could u giv sample code for this pls.

CodeHawkz 21-Sep-12 2:30am

Hi Bhargava,

Your code is correct. The only thing missing is that, your view doesn't understand what is the exact type of your Model is. By adding the line,
@Model List<Users>
to the beginning of the view file, you tell to the parser that, your model is of the type of a List of Users. Then only the parser knows how to map the properties in your view.

Hope this helps, regards
