How to bind ApplicationDbContext to a View in ASP.Net Core 2.2

Question

I need to bind ApplicationDbContext to my View for using models but its not working.

I have tried @using ProjectName.Data for accessing ApplicationDbContext but vain.

@using TailorManagementSystem.Data in the head

ApplicationDbContext dbContext = new ApplicationDbContext();

The error comes out to be "There is no argument given to that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'options' of ApplicationDbContext"

Answer 1

You have to inject it into the view:

@inject TailorManagementSystem.Data.ApplicationDbContext Context

Then you can use Context in your view.

However, you should never actually do this. Views should have as little logic as possible. Things like querying a database should be handled in your controller action or via something like a view component, never in the view itself.
