Google Custom Search using ASP.NET MVC2 - asp.net-mvc-2

Question

i am using ASP.NET MVC2 to implement google custom search. i am able to connect to googleAPI, pass my query, get the results back in JSON format and map those to .NET classes. However, when i create a view to show those results i am receving an error.
public ActionResult SiteSearch(string query)
{
var googleSiteSearchClient = new GoogleSiteSearchClient();
var model = googleSiteSearchClient.RunSearch(query);
return View(model);
}
I create a strongly typed View based on Model and try to use a FOREACH loop to get the results
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<h2>SiteSearch</h2>
<% foreach (var item in Model) { %>
<%: item.Kind %> <br />
<% } %>
</table>
</asp:Content>
i am receving this error
The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'AASD2.Models.GoogleAPI.GoogleSearchResponse', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[AASD2.Models.GoogleAPI.GoogleSearchResponse]'.
any suggestion, where i am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Seems like the result of googleSiteSearchClient is not a collection. The search result collection is probably a property on the result of googleSiteSearchClient.
Either use
<% foreach (var item in Model.WhatEverTheCollectionIsNamed) { %>
<%: item.Kind %> <br />
<% } %>
Or
public ActionResult SiteSearch(string query)
{
var googleSiteSearchClient = new GoogleSiteSearchClient();
var model = googleSiteSearchClient.RunSearch(query);
return View(model.WhatEverTheCollectionIsNamed);
}
