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

While I know this question has been asked longtime ago however some people might still face a similar problem. One easy solution I use to pass or have more than one view model on a page is to use a ViewBag to hold the second object and refer to it in the view. See example bellow.

In your controller do this:

Obj2 personalDets = new Obj2();
DbContext ctx = new DbContext();
var details = ctx.GetPersonalInformation;

foreach(var item in details) {
    personalDets.Password = item.Password;
    personalDets .EmailAddress = item.EmailAddress; 
}

ViewBag.PersonalInformation = personalDets;

Then in your view those properties become readily available for you
