[RESOLVED] Accessing Entities from another controller

[Nightwalker83]

Hi,

How do I access an entity define in one controller say "StoreController" and use it in another controller called "BrowseController"?

This is what I have tried so far:

BrowseController:

using MvcMusicStore.Controllers;
 
namespace MvcMusicStore.Controllers
{
    public class BrowseController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Browse/
 
        public ActionResult Browse(string genre)
        {
         //Retrieve genre and its associated albums from the database
            var genreModel = storeDB.Genres.Include("Albums")
                .single(g => g.Name == genre);
        }
 
    }
}

StoreController:

public class StoreController : Controller
    {
        MvcMusicStoreEntities StoreDB = new MvcMusicStoreEntities();
        //
        // GET: /Store/
 
         public ActionResult Index()
        {
            //Retrieve list of genres from database
            var genres = from genre in StoreDB.Genres
                         select genre.Name;
 
            //Create the view model
            var viewModel = new StoreIndexViewModel
            {
                NumberOfGenres = genres.Count(),
 
            };
            return View(viewModel);
        }
