MVC 4 - Use a different model in partial view

Question

Please bear with my noobness, I\'m super new to the MVC pattern.

What I\'m trying to do

I am building a profile information page for re

Answer 1

In your [HttpPost] profil function, if modelstate.isvalid is false, you return your edit view, but you need to define your pmViewModel again , other wise your partial view will not have an object to display. Try using the following and let us know what happens

[HttpPost]
[Authorize]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Profil(ProfileModel model)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        //insert into database
        return Content("everything's good");
    }
    else
    {
        //outputs form errors
        var pmViewModel = new ProfileUserViewModel  
        {
            ProfileModelObject = profileModel,
            UserModelObject = userModel
        };

        return View(model);
    }
}
