POVB.NET Extension Method in View using ASP.NET MVC
text
Body
copied!<p>I ran into a strange issue over the weekend while I was working on an asp.net mvc project in vb.net. I created an extension method to convert an integer to the corresponding month it is associated with. I tested the extension method in a console application so I know it is working. </p> <p>In my asp.net mvc project I have a view and want to call the extension method but I get an error that the extension method is not recognized. I imported the namespace it was contained in and still couldn't shake the error. Any idea what's going on? I don't have my code with me, but I can post that tonight if it will help. Thanks!</p> <p>Extension Method:</p> <pre><code>Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices Module SiteExtensions <Extension()> _ Public Function ConvertToMonth(ByVal monthNumber As Integer) As String Dim month As String = String.Empty Select Case monthNumber Case 1 month = "January" Case 2 month = "February" Case 3 month = "March" Case 4 month = "April" Case 5 month = "May" Case 6 month = "June" Case 7 month = "July" Case 8 month = "August" Case 9 month = "September" Case 10 month = "October" Case 11 month = "November" Case 12 month = "December" End Select Return month End Function End Module </code></pre> <p>View:</p> <pre><code><% For Each m As Integer In DirectCast(ViewData("Months"), IEnumerable)%> <a href="#"><%=m.ConvertToMonth()%><br /></a> <%Next%> </code></pre> <p>Error is: "ConvertToMonth is not a member of Integer"</p> <p>Jon</p>
