ASP.NET MVC 4, multiple models in one view? [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you don't already have a view model to represent this, just create one:

public class MyViewModel
{
    public Engineer Engineer { get; set; }
    public List Elements { get; set; }
}

Populate a set of view models in the controller

public ActionResult MyAction()
{
    var viewModels = 
        (from e in db.Engineers
         select new MyViewModel
         {
             Engineer = e,
             Elements = e.Elements,
         })
        .ToList();
    return View(viewModels);
}

And in your view just specify that you're using a collection of view models:

@model List
@foreach(var vm in Model)
{
    
Projects for engineer: @vm.Engineer.Name
    

    @foreach(var ele in vm.Elements)
    {
        
@ele.Name
    }
    
}
