Pro Student 9,652 PointsNeed clarification
when adding the ModelState the instructor uses first capitalization that matches the ViewBag values but the ModelState is lowercase as the same as the method parameters. Why does this work both ways? My code I put in lowercase with the exception of the date argument
public ActionResult Add(DateTime? date, int? activityId, double? duration,
Entry.IntensityLevel? intensity, bool? exclude, string notes)
{
ViewBag.Date = ModelState["Date"].Value.AttemptedValue;
ViewBag.ActivityId = ModelState["activityId"].Value.AttemptedValue;
ViewBag.Duration = ModelState["duration"].Value.AttemptedValue;
ViewBag.Intensity = ModelState["intensity"].Value.AttemptedValue;
ViewBag.Exclude = ModelState["exclude"].Value.AttemptedValue;
ViewBag.Notes = ModelState["notes"].Value.AttemptedValue;
return View();
}

Hope this helps Happy Coding!

Pro Student 9,652 PointsThanks Allen. It would be better to mention this in the video at some point or keep the naming conventions the same.
