Object reference not set to an instance of an object - Partial View

Question

I have a strongly typed partial view which is giving me \"Object reference not set to an instance of an object\" error when I launch the master view. I know I am not passing

Answer 1

If you need to render this partial view when you don't have a Model, you can certainly test that Model is not null before the foreach loop

if (Model != null)
    foreach (...)

Answer 2

You have to pass some Model to your partialView, because it need a instance of IEnumerable<Student.Models.vwStudent>

<% Html.RenderPartial("DisplayPartial", model); %>

Or, you can check in your partial view if the model is not null.

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<IEnumerable<Student.Models.vwStudent>>" %>


<% if (Model != null) {
     foreach (var item in Model) {
           if (item == null) continue; %>

        <tr>            
            <td>
                <%: item.Item1%>
            </td>
            <td>
                <%: item.Item2%>
            </td>
        </tr>

    <% }
} %>

    </table>
