SpecFlow is not matching Examples fields

Question

I have a scenario:

Scenario: Check all these numbers
    Given I got <cat>
    When I get string <string>
    Then I see result <result>
Examples: 
    | cat | string | result |
    | 1   | a      | 1=a    |
    | 2   | b      | 2=b    |
    | 3   | c      | 3=c    |

And this step definition:

[Given(@"I got (.*)")]
public void Igot(string cat)
{
    // will do stuff here
}

The cat parameter in method Igot() is receiving the value "<cat>", not the string value "1".

Why?

Answer 1

In your SpecFlow code, replace Scenario with Scenario Outline:

Scenario Outline: Check all these numbers
    Given I got <cat>
    When I get string <string>
    Then I see result <result>
Examples: 
    | cat | string | result |
    | 1   | a      | 1=a    |
    | 2   | b      | 2=b    |
    | 3   | c      | 3=c    |
