Hi all,

I want to display data that i get from my database and store in ViewBag or TempData, like this:

SQL

ViewBag.BikesResult = new SelectList(db.Bikes.Where(x => x.Sex.StartsWith(searchparameter.Sex) && x.MinAge < age && x.MaxAge > age), "Id", "Name");
                TempData.Add("BikeResults", new SelectList(db.Bikes.Where(x => x.Sex.StartsWith(searchparameter.Sex) && x.MinAge < age && x.MaxAge > age)));

I want to display this data in a table, using Razor. I tried this:

SQL

@if (ViewBag.BikesResult != null)
        {
         <table>
             <tr>
                 <td>
                     <h3>Bike</h3>
                 </td>
                 <td>
                     <select id="sltBike">
                        <option>Bikes Result 
                         </option>                       
                            @foreach (var bike in ViewBag.BikesResult 
                            as List <BikesProj.Models.Bike>)
                            {         
                                 <option>@bike.Name</option>            
                            }
                     </select>
                 </td>
             </tr>
         </table>
        
        }

But with no sucess. I can display the data in a dropdown like this:

@Html.DropDownList("aa", new SelectList(ViewBag.BikesResult, "Value", "Text"));

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Type is wrong. You made instance of SelectList here.

ViewBag.BikesResult = new SelectList(db.Bikes.Where(x => x.Sex.StartsWith(searchparameter.Sex) && x.MinAge < age && x.MaxAge > age), "Id", "Name");

But you tried converting to List <BikesProj.Models.Bike>.

@foreach (var bike in ViewBag.BikesResult as List <BikesProj.Models.Bike>)
{         
     <option>@bike.Name</option>            
}

I am not sure becaouse I don't know about your SelectList class definition.
But I think that below code may help you.

@foreach (var bike in ViewBag.BikesResult as SelectList)
{         
     <option>@bike.Name</option>            
}

If it doesn't work, please let me know your SelectList class definition.
