@ Html.DropDownListFor绑定给出“从类型'System.String'参数转换为类型”错误

Question

我只是想将@ Html.DropDownListFor绑定到我的视图模型，每当我去添加新产品时，我都会收到错误：

“从'System.String'类型到'SuperStockpile.Core.Models.Brand'类型的参数转换失败，因为没有类型转换器可以在这些类型之间进行转换。”

基本实体

public abstract class BaseEntity
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    [Display(Name = "Created At")]
    public DateTimeOffset CreatedAt { get; set; }

    public BaseEntity()
    {
        Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
        CreatedAt = DateTime.Now;
    }
}

品牌模型

public class Brand : BaseEntity
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

查看模型

public class ProductFormViewModel
{
    public Product Product { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<Brand> Brands { get; set; }
}

库存控制器

public class InventoryController : Controller
{
    private readonly IRepository<Product> _productContext;
    private readonly IRepository<Brand> _brandContext;
    private readonly IRepository<Source> _sourceContext;
    public InventoryController(IRepository<Product> productContext, IRepository<Brand> brandContext, 
        IRepository<Source> sourceContext)
    {
        _productContext = productContext;
        _sourceContext = sourceContext;
        _brandContext = brandContext;
    }
    // GET: Inventory
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        List<Product> Products = _productContext.Collection().ToList();
        return View(Products);
    }

    public ActionResult Create()
    {
        ProductFormViewModel product = new ProductFormViewModel
        {
            Product = new Product(),
            Brands = _brandContext.Collection().ToList(),
            Sources = _sourceContext.Collection().ToList()
        };
        return View(product);
    }
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Create(ProductFormViewModel vm)
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            return View("Create", vm);
        else
        {
            Product product = new Product
            {
                Brand = vm.Product.Brand,
                BrandId = vm.Product.BrandId,
                Comments = vm.Product.Comments,
                Cost = vm.Product.Cost,
                DiscountPercent = vm.Product.DiscountPercent,
                ItemCode = vm.Product.ItemCode,
                Source = vm.Product.Source,
                SourceId = vm.Product.SourceId,
                SKU = vm.Product.SKU,
                UPC = vm.Product.UPC
            };

            _productContext.Insert(product);
            _productContext.Commit();
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
    }
}

视图

@model SuperStockpile.Core.ViewModels.ProductFormViewModel

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}

<h2>Add New Product</h2>


@using (Html.BeginForm("Create","Inventory")) 
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    
<div class="form-horizontal">
    <hr />
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Product.SKU)
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Product.SKU, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Product.SKU)
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Product.UPC)
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Product.UPC, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Product.UPC)
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Product.ItemCode)
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Product.ItemCode, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Product.ItemCode)
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Product.Cost)
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Product.Cost, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Product.Cost)
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Product.DiscountPercent)
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Product.DiscountPercent, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Product.DiscountPercent)
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Product.Comments)
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Product.Comments, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Product.Comments)
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Product.BrandId)
        @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Product.Brand, new SelectList(Model.Brands, "Id", "Name"),"Select Brand", new { @class = "form-control" })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Product.BrandId)
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
            <input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
}

<div>
    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</div>

@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}

我不确定如何将下拉列表正确绑定到我的视图模型Brand属性。任何帮助或解释为什么会发生这种情况会很棒！

谢谢你的期待。

不要整合绑定到Brand类，只绑定到Brand.Id，稍后在控制器中获取Brand的剩余详细信息，然后保存到数据库。

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Product.Brand.Id, new SelectList(Model.Brands, "Id", "Name"),"Select Brand", new { @class = "form-control" })
