pass two models to view [duplicate]

Answer 1

You have to create a new model which has to contain the whole objects that you want to pass it to view. You should create a model (class, object) which inherits the base model (class, object).

And other suggestion you may send objects (models) via View["model1"] and View["model2"] or just an array that contains objects to pass it and cast them inside the view which I don't advise .

Answer 2

You can create special viewmodel that contains both models:

public class CurrencyAndWeatherViewModel
{
   public IEnumerable<Currency> Currencies{get;set;}
   public Weather CurrentWeather {get;set;}
}

and pass it to view.

public ActionResult Index(int year,int month,int day)
{
    var currencies = from r in _db.Currencies
                where r.date == new DateTime(year,month,day)
                select r;
    var weather = ...

    var model = new CurrencyAndWeatherViewModel {Currencies = currencies.ToArray(), CurrentWeather = weather};

    return View(model);
}

Answer 3

It sounds like you could use a model that is specific to this view.

public class MyViewModel{

  public List<Currencies> CurrencyList {get;set;}

}

and then from your controller you could pass this new View Model into the view instead:

    public ActionResult Index(int year,int month,int day)
    {
        var model = from r in _db.Currencies
                    where r.date == new DateTime(year,month,day)
                    select r;

        return View(new MyViewModel { CurrencyList = model.ToList() });
    }

You can than just add more properties to your view model which contain any other models (Weather model) and set them appropriately.
