The ViewData item that has the key "Cat ID" is of type'System.Int32' but must be of type IEnumerble

I'm using entity framework

    the error is specific to asp.net mvc, please post the relevant code – Ehsan Sajjad Oct 26 '17 at 11:07
  • Check the message. It says that you tried to tread `Cat ID` as if it were an array or list – Panagiotis Kanavos Oct 26 '17 at 11:09
  • You've just passed one item into your `ViewData` and used it in the view with `foreach`, it should be a `IEnumerable` collection. #Sherlock – SᴇM Oct 26 '17 at 11:10

    What I have difficulty understanding is, why people take the burden of writing the error messages by hand instead of copying / pasting it. In the above error message, there are two obvious typos. Cases where the source code is re-written by hand is also not that rare. Why? – Oguz Ozgul Oct 26 '17 at 11:43

You've just passed one item into your ViewData.In your case Viewdata has got list of items, so you should cast ViewData as a IEnumerable and then get the values from foreach loop.
