'Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException' 'object' does not contain a definition for 'intEmployeeId' - linq

Question

I am getting an exception when i trying to display the values of viewbag. I have joined two tables and stored that data in viewbag using Linq.
This is my controller action method
public ActionResult HRSeparationDetails()
{
//List<trnEsSeparationDetail> separationlist = (from list in db.trnEsSeparationDetails
// select list).ToList();
ViewBag.SeparationList = (from list in db.trnEsSeparationDetails
join R in db.mstEsEmpReasonForSeparations
on list.ReasonForSeperationId equals R.intSeperationId
select new
{
intEmployeeId = list.intEmpId,
ReasonForSeparation = R.txtReasonForSeperation,
ResiganationDate = list.dtResignationDate,
RelievingDate = list.dtRequestedRelievingDate,
SeparationRemarks = list.txtRemark
}).ToList();
return View();
}
This is my viewpage
#model IEnumerable<EMPApp.Models.trnEsSeparationDetail>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "HRSeparationDetails";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>HRSeparationDetails</h2>
<div>
#if (ViewBag.SeparationList == null)
{
<div style="color:green"><h3>#ViewBag.SeparationerrorMessage</h3></div>
}
else
{
<table class="grid" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th>
<b>Employee Id</b>
</th>
#*<th>
<b>ReasonForSeparationId</b>
</th>*#
<th>
<b>Reason For Separation</b>
</th>
<th>
<b>Resignation Date</b>
</th>
<th>
<b>Relieving Date</b>
</th>
<th>
<b>Separation Remarks</b>
</th>
</tr>
#foreach (var item in ViewBag.SeparationList)
{
<tr>
<td>
#item.intEmployeeId
#*#{
Session["SeparationEmpId"] = item.intEmpId;
}
#Html.ActionLink(Session["SeparationEmpId"].ToString(), "EmployeeDashboard", "HRAdmin", new { id = #item.intEmpId }, null)*#
</td>
#*<td>
#item.ReasonForSeperationId
</td>*#
<td>
#item.ReasonForSeparation
</td>
<td>
#item.ResiganationDate
</td>
<td>
#item.RelievingDate
</td>
<td>
#item.SeparationRemarks
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
}
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks..

Answer 1

ViewBag is a dynamic object and your setting the property to a collection of anonymous objects. In you foreach loop
#foreach (var item in ViewBag.SeparationList)
item is typeof object and object does not have a property intEmployeeId (or any of the other properties your define in the anonymous object). One way to handle this is to create a view model with the properties you want to display
public class SeparationDetailVM
{
public int intEmployeeId { get; set; }
public DateTime ResiganationDate { get; set; }
....
}
and in the controller
var details = (from list in ....
select new SeparationDetailVM
{
intEmployeeId = list.intEmpId,
ResiganationDate = list.dtResignationDate,
....
}).AsEnumerable();
return View(details); // no need for ViewBag
and in the view
#model IEnumerable<YourAssembly.SeparationDetailVM>
....
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
....
<td>#item.intEmployeeId</td>
<td>#item.ResiganationDate</td>
....
}
