Sitecore Edit Frame issue

Question

I am having issues when passing Guid as the data source for edit Frame.

When I populate the Guid directly it works fine but while binding it from model am getting an error message

Code:

@using Sitecore.Mvc.Extensions
@{
    var itemid = @Model.PropertyGuid;
}

@foreach (Sitecore.Data.Items.Item listItem in @Model.DiningServiceItem)
{
    using (Html.EditFrame("@itemid", "DininglEvents", null, null, null, null))
    {
        <li> @listItem.Name</li>
    }
}

Error message:

An error occurred. [Log message: Could not get item with id: from database:master]

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks

According to the docs you can pass the datasource argument in one of the following formats:

• /sitecore/content/Home
• {110D559F-DEA5-42EA-9C1C-8A5DF7E70EF9}
• RenderingContext.Current.ContextItem.ID.ToString()
• RenderingContext.Current.PageContext.Item.ID.ToString()
• Html.Sitecore().CurrentRendering.DataSource To use this format, you
• must create a Data Source field in a rendering (Presentation, Details, Controls, Your Rendering).

What format is your @itemid guid in?

Perhaps try:

.ToString() 

on your Item ID.
