@model Giftos.Entities.Product

@model Giftos.Entities.Product

and here is my Product class

c#
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace Giftos.Entities
{
    public class Product
    {
        [Key]
        public Guid Id { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required.")]
        public string Name { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required.")]
        public string Description { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required.")]
        public int Stock { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required.")]
        public int Price { get; set; }
        public byte[] Image { get; set; }




        public Product(string name, string description, int price, int stock)
        {
            Name = name;
            Description = description;
            Price = price;
            Stock = stock;
        }

        public Product() { }
    }
}

c#
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace Giftos.Entities
{
    public class Product
    {
        [Key]
        public Guid Id { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required.")]
        public string Name { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required.")]
        public string Description { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required.")]
        public int Stock { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "This field is required.")]
        public int Price { get; set; }
        public byte[] Image { get; set; }




        public Product(string name, string description, int price, int stock)
        {
            Name = name;
            Description = description;
            Price = price;
            Stock = stock;
        }

        public Product() { }
    }
}

You need to provide a model instance to the view

Al3mid3x•2w ago

can you tell me how to do it please as i said i'm new to asp.net

Kouhai•2w ago

// GET: Products/Create
public IActionResult Create()
{
    return View(new Product());
}

// GET: Products/Create
public IActionResult Create()
{
    return View(new Product());
}

Should do the trick
