I wish to save an id field called AssetAssignmentID the value of "2" everytime a new modelname is saved.
I was looking to see if i could do the following;
That was if the Modelname was not null, then save both the ModelName and AssetAssignmentID to = "2"
public ActionResult Create(ClinicalAsset clinicalAssets)
{
try
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (clinicalAssets.ModelName != null)
{
clinicalAssets.ModelName = clinicalAssets.ModelName;
clinicalAssets.AssetAssignmentID = "2";
}
db.ClinicalAssets.Add(clinicalAssets);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Details", "ClinicalAssets", new { ClinicalAssetID = clinicalAssets.ClinicalAssetID });
}
}
However it complains that an object reference is required for non-static field. If I make reference to the AssetAssignmentID in the ClinicalAsset Model I cannot convert type int to Model.
The populated dropdownlist
private void PopulateModelDropDownList(object selectedModel = null)
{
var ModelsQuery = from d in db.Models.Where(x => x.AssetAssignmentID == 2) orderby d.ModelName select d;
ViewBag.ModelDropDown = new SelectList(ModelsQuery, "ModelID", "ModelName", selectedModel);
}
I would expect that every time a new ModelName is submitted to the database the AssetAssignmentID would always equal the value of two.
edit
I have also tried
var clinicalAsset = new ClinicalAsset { AssetAssignmentID = 2 };
if (clinicalAssets.ModelName != null)
{
clinicalAssets.ModelName = clinicalAssets.ModelName;
}
db.ClinicalAssets.Add(clinicalAsset);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Details", "ClinicalAssets", new { ClinicalAssetID = clinicalAssets.ClinicalAssetID });
but the error is: Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'Assets.Models.Model'

UPDATE
I now have the AssignmentID saving as 2, but it creates a new entry in the database rather than assigning two values to the same field
