C# ASP.NET MVC Forms Introducing CRUD Applications Reviewing the List Page

Need help to understand the Index.view error

@model List<Treehouse.FitnessFrog.Models.Entry> . . <div class="pull-right"> <a href="@Url.Action("Edit", new { id = entry.Id })" class="btn btn-warning btn-sm margin-right"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-edit"></span><span class="hidden-xs"> Edit</span> </a> <a href="@Url.Action("Delete", new { id = entry.Id })" class="btn btn-danger btn-sm"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></span><span class="hidden-xs"> Delete</span> </a> </div>

I am getting the error in declaring the route values new { id = entry.Id }) Saying cannot assign 'method group' to anonymous type. This gives an error when i try to debug the program setting the breakpoint in Add Action Method {return view}.

Checked stackoverflow they were recommending on adding the model directive, which is already there @model List<Treehouse.FitnessFrog.Models.Entry> also to make sure Entry.Id property is public in entry model. Which is also done.

Can i get some help as to understand why this runtime compilcation error is coming.
