Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'System.Collections.Generic.ICollection in mvc controller

Question

public ActionResult addstandardpackage1(ICollection SingleStay,ICollection DOUBLESTAY,ICollection TRIBLESTAY,ICollection FAMI         


        

Answer 1

or you can use

foreach (var item in Collection)
{
..................
}

Answer 2

Just convert it to an array:

var s = SingleStay.ToArray();

note that this will consume additional memory though.

Better way would be to get an Array or any other collection-form that supports indexer in the first place.

Yet another way would be to implement it with an index variable:

 var s = SingleStay;
 int i = 0;
 foreach (var cal in s)
 {
    //do your stuff (Note: if you use 'continue;' here increment i before)
    i++;
 }

Answer 3

ICollection doesn't expose indexer. You have three options:

1. Change ICollection to IList
2. Use ElementAt that is inherited from IEnumerable. But be aware - it could not be efficient.
3. Evalute passed collection to list (ToList())
