Not sure how to convert int to C# object

Question

I'm trying to pass a parameter to a controller method and I'm having problems with converting type int to C# object. Or more specifically type in to root. @{ Layout = null ; Root movieResult = ViewData[ "movies" ] as Root; MovieResults movies = ViewData[ "movies" ] as MovieResults; } "en" > "UTF-8" /> "viewport" content= "width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> Movie Streaming Availability App "stylesheet" href= "https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity= "sha384-JcKb8q3iqJ61gNV9KGb8thSsNjpSL0n8PARn9HuZOnIxN0hoP+VmmDGMN5t9UJ0Z" crossorigin= "anonymous" > "stylesheet" type= "text/css" href= "css/site.css" > class = "container" > class = "row" > @foreach ( var movie in movies.Results) { class = "col-3" > "Movie" asp-action= "MoviePage" asp-route-Id= "@movie.Id" > "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w300/@movie.PosterPath" alt= "@movie.Title" > @movie.Title } "text/javascript" src= "lib/jquery/dist/jquery.js" > "text/javascript" src= "lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.js" > "text/javascript" src= "~/js/site.js" asp-append-version= "true" >

where do you need Root in Action method , In your case you are just passing movie Id via anchor tag helper so your action method will be as simple as [HttpGet] public ActionResult MoviePage(string Id) // here you will get the id { return View(); }

using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text.Json.Serialization; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc; namespace pdrake.Models { [Produces( "application/json" )] public class Root { [JsonPropertyName( "adult" )] public bool Adult { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "backdrop_path" )] public string BackdropPath { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "belongs_to_collection" )] public BelongsToCollection BelongsToCollection { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "budget" )] public int Budget { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "genres" )] public List Genres { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "homepage" )] public string Homepage { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "id" )] public int Id { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "imdb_id" )] public string ImdbId { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "original_language" )] public string OriginalLanguage { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "original_title" )] public string OriginalTitle { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "overview" )] public string Overview { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "popularity" )] public double Popularity { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "poster_path" )] public string PosterPath { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "production_companies" )] public List ProductionCompanies { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "production_countries" )] public List ProductionCountries { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "release_date" )] public string ReleaseDate { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "revenue" )] public int Revenue { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "runtime" )] public int Runtime { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "spoken_languages" )] public List SpokenLanguages { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "status" )] public string Status { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "tagline" )] public string Tagline { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "title" )] public string Title { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "video" )] public bool Video { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "vote_average" )] public double VoteAverage { get ; set ; } [JsonPropertyName( "vote_count" )] public int VoteCount { get ; set ; } } }

what is the definition of Root in your case? please provide the class defintion so that we could understand and help. BTW, your ViewData[ "movies" ] seems like a collection of MovieResult Object so it should be @{ Layout = null; var movies =(IEnumerable(MoviewResult)) ViewData[ "movies" ] ; }
