Can not call the method in model to the controller of asp.net mvc c#

Question

This is the method in my Model :

 public IList<Customer> GetProfileCustomer(int id)
    {
        var list_customer = from c in DataContext.Customers
                            where c.ID == id
                            select c;
        return list_customer.ToList();
    }

And this is what I did in my controller :

   public ActionResult ShowProfile()
    {
        List<CustomerModels> cus = new List<CustomerModels>();

        return View();
    }

I created the object cus to call the method GetProfileCustomer() in the model, but I cannot do that. When I write : cus.GetProfileCustomer, It is error.

you need to call GetProfileCustomer on model object not on the list object — Kashif Khan

i guess your model name is Customer...so you need to use an object of Customer model. such as customer.GetProfileCustomer(id)....but my advise will be to move GetProfileCustomer method in controller — Kashif Khan

Your major issue is the line:

List<CustomerModels> cus = new List<CustomerModels>();

That is not creating an instance of CustomerModels, so you can't call that method on it. You would have to do something like:

public ActionResult ShowProfile()
{
    cus = new CustomerModels();
    var data = cus.GetProfileCustomer(123);
    return View(data);
}

However, in the MVC sense, I don't think loading data from your Model is really the right approach. Typically the Controller has some reference to something else that loads and saves data. The Model is usually just a class with properties to hold the data.

I would look at the "NerdDinner" sample project. For example, in these files:

DinnersController.cs (controller)
Dinner.cs (model)

Note that DinnersController holds a reference to a dinner repository, which is the thing that queries the database.

AVD is right, You will need to first instantiate the class that houses the GetProfileCustomer method i.e:

public ActionResult ShowProfile(int id)
{
    var model = new WhateverTheClassNameIs().GetProfileCustomer(id);

    return View(model);
}

May be you have to create instance of CustomerModels instead of List<CustomerModels>.

public ActionResult ShowProfile()
    {
        CustomerModels cus=new CustomerModels(); 
        var list=cus.GetProfileCustomer(1); // 1 is value of ID
        return View(list);
    }

You can iterate Model in view (Razor)

  <div>
        @foreach(var cust in Model){
            <br /><b>ID :</b> @cust.CustomerID
             }
    </div>

ASPX markup

<div>
      <% foreach (var cust in Model)
         { %>

         <br />ID : <%:cust.CustomerID %>

      <% } %>
    </div>

Thanks. But could you tell me, how can I call this controller in my view?

@socheata - Take a look at post. You have to pass "list" via View(list) argument.
