Pg 503 Employees Razor class library

Hi @markjprice, first, thanks for the informative book! I'm picking up programming again after 15 years of being on the Ops side. A lot has changed! Please excuse if this is a noob Q.

My issue is trying to get the partial view working for the employees. I resolved the issue of not having employee data due to the date check; thanks for the updated sql script.

But I still can't seem to get the cards to display. If I enter static data, for some cards, they display, but it's like the employee data either isn't getting loaded into the array, or there's some formatting issue in the HTML that I just don't have the experience to troubleshoot. I have done a compare of my employees.cshtml, employees.cshtml.cs, and _Employee.cshtml to what you have in the repo and they all seem to match up.

Any thoughts?

Hi, I'm happy that you have found my book informative. I am super busy getting the fifth edition ready for publishing in a few weeks. After that, I will have a look at your issue. Since your employees.cshtml, employees.cshtml.cs, and _Employee.cshtml are all identical to the solution code, the issue is likely to be in the entity model or database connection configuration. But until I run the code again and try breaking it, it's tricky to say right now what the issue might be. I will leave this issue open to remind me.

Sounds good. Good luck with the 5th Edition!
