C# ASP.NET MVC Forms Creating a Basic Form Using Strongly Typed HTML Helpers

Need help - keep getting error message stating that I need to use strongly typed version @Html.LabelFor call but I am...

Please see my code from the question (It is my understanding that it will be attached to this question - if I need to do something differently to attach it please let me know). I am driving myself nuts trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I don't understand where I am missing something or where I need something syntax-wise. Could you please take a look at my code and give me a clue?

@model IssueReporter.Models.Issue

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Report an Issue";
}

<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm())

It appears you have found a bug! :beetle:

The challenge seems to only want "m" used as the lambda expression argument name. If you change "model" to "m" you should pass the challenge.

You might want to report this bug to Support. You may even get the "special Exterminator badge".

Thank you Steven.

John,

Thanks for reporting this bug with the code challenge. It's been updated to allow you to use any argument name in your lambda expression.

Thanks ~James

Does he get the "Exterminator" for that?
