element IEnumerable< > is not supported

Question

i have used the following code in my view and made the model it is giving the error in (IEnumerable<ITClassifieds.Models.Resume>)

<%--  
    foreach (ITClassifieds.Models.Resume  c in (IEnumerable<ITClassifieds.Models.Resume>)ViewData["getresume"])
    { %>
        <input type="radio" name="resumeID" value="<%=c.ResumeID %>" checked="checked"/>Yes
        <input type="radio" name="resumeID" value="0"/>No
  <%} %>

Are you sure that is an enumerable set of `ITClassifieds.Models.Resume` you are trying to loop through? — BoltClock, May 25 '11 at 08:37
@BoltClock, good point. That's always the problem when you use `ViewData`. No Intellisense, you never know the correct type, you should perform ugly casts in the view and as a consequence to this errors are more difficult to find and reveal at runtime. Those are some of the reasons why I always avoid using `ViewData` in favor of strongly typed views and view models. — Darin Dimitrov, May 25 '11 at 08:50
using the debugger, set a break point in the `foreach` statement and verify the contents of your `ViewData` using "Add Watch" or "Quick Watch" or the Interactive Console. — Daren Thomas, May 25 '11 at 09:47

Go back to where you are setting getresume in your controller.. confirm that it is setting to what you are expecting.
Post the full error you are receiving.

Or

Create yourself a viewmodel and use that instead. Dynamics are great and I use them a fair amount but when it comes to views I always go with strongly typed.
