The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Decimal', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.String'

[Atlas]

We are creating a grid based on the following Demo
The model for the demo has the unit price set up as follows:

[Required]
        [DisplayName("Unit price")]
        [DataType(DataType.Currency)]
        [Range(0, int.MaxValue)]
        public decimal UnitPrice
        {
            get;
            set;
        }

We are attempting to do the same thing in our application, but when we do so, we receive the following error:

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Decimal', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.String'

Am I missing something?
I don't see the model for the demo converting the unit price into a string, but the demo doesn't throw an error.

Hi Atlas,


From the provided information it seems that the editor template for the "UnitPrice" property currently accepts only string type which is invalid configuration - please check the example of decimal editor template:

Currency.cshtml under the EditorTemplates folder:

@model decimal?

@(Html.Kendo().CurrencyTextBoxFor(m => m)
      .HtmlAttributes(new {style="width:100%"})
      .Min(0)
)

Kind regards,

That is correct. Thanks for the help. I figured it out myself after the post, but was unable to open this item to post my reply.
Clicking on the reply link in the email worked though.
