9,791 PointsWhat did I do wrong?
I followed the example in the video precisely...or so I thought.
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
public class VideoGamesController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Detail()
{
ViewBag.Title = "Super Mario 64";
ViewBag.Description = "Super Mario 64 is a 1996 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64.";
ViewBag.Characters = new string[]
{
"Mario",
"Princess Peach",
"Bowser",
"Toad",
"Yoshi"
};
return View();
}
}
}
@{
Layout = null;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>Video Game Detail</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h1>@ViewBag.Title</h1>
<h5>Description:</h5>
<div>@ViewBag.Description</div>
<h5>Characters:</h5>
<div>
<ul>
@foreach (var character in @ViewBag.Characters)
{
<li>@character</li>
}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

7,388 PointsThis is a sneaky one. Your @foreach statement switch us from html back to C#. Since ViewBag is C# you and we are already in the middle of a C# function we don't need the @ symbol before ViewBag.Characters.

9,791 PointsI apologize. I was asked to do this: " Update the Detail.cshtml view to use the ViewBag data. Remove the title, description, and characters variables. Replace the title, description, and characters references with the respective ViewBag properties. "
