    In order to populate a list of shipments based on your view model object you would need to create a mapping method to map from your collection of shipments from your database to a collection of shipments based on your view model:

    var model = new List<ShippingHeaderSummaryVM>();
    
    foreach(var h in shipments)
    {
    
        var viewModel = new ShippingHeaderSummaryVM
        {
        ID = h.ID
        Site = r.Site
        DateShipped = h.DateShipped
        EstDeliveryDate = h.EstDeliveryDate
        TrackingNo = h.TrackingNumber
        FromSitePOC = e.LastName
        NumOrders = h.ShippingLI.Count
        Shipper = s.Shipper
        HeaderComments = h.HeaderComments
        }
    
        model.Add(viewModel);
    }
    
    return model;
    

    As a side note, this becomes a one liner after you have AutoMapper up and running:

    var model = Mapper.Map<IEnumerable<ShippingHdr>, IEnumerable<ShippingHeaderSummaryVM>>(shipments);
    

    While, learning how to do things manually is great. Manually mapping models doesn't really benefit you in any way or form. Go with AutoMapper.

    You can also use Linq to do something like this...

    shipments.Select(h => new ShippingHeaderSummaryVM(){
        ID = h.ID,
        Site = r.Site,
        DateShipped = h.DateShipped,
        EstDeliveryDate = h.EstDeliveryDate,
        TrackingNo = h.TrackingNumber,
        FromSitePOC = e.LastName,
        NumOrders = h.ShippingLI.Count,
        Shipper = s.Shipper,
        HeaderComments = h.HeaderComments
    });
    

    Note that while mapping view models is great for passing to a view, always do it manually when reading from a view model to update your database.

    Edit: Thanks for the typo correction:-)
