Two models in one view

Question

User-501297529 posted

I have two models: Response and Item. I want to use properties from both models. How do i do that:

public partial class Response
    {

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific/unique ID for a certain response (Primary Key --> Integer)
        /// </summary>
        public int ResponseId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific ID for a specific discussion (Integer)
        /// </summary>
        public int DiscussionId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific ID for a certain User (Integer)
        /// </summary>
        public Guid UserId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the response text (Varchar)
        /// </summary>
        public string Responses { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the date in which a response is created (Date)
        /// </summary>
        public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; }

       
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets Discussions of type Discussion 
        /// </summary>
        public Discussion Discussions { get; set; }
    }

public partial class Item
    {
        public Item()
        {
            Discussions = new HashSet<Discussion>();
            Votes = new HashSet<Vote>();
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific/unique ID for a certain item (Primary Key --> Integer)
        /// </summary>
        public int ItemId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific ID for a certain Packet (Foreign Key --> Integer)
        /// </summary>
        public int? PacketId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific ID for a certain category (Foreign Key --> Integer)
        /// </summary>
        public int? CategoryId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific ID for a certain Voting Type (Foreign Key --> Integer)
        /// </summary>
        public int? VotingTypeId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific Title for am Item (Varchar)
        /// </summary>
        public string ItemTitle { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific order in which an item will be displayed (Integer)
        /// </summary>
        public int? DisplayOrder { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific File name for a certain item (Varchar)
        /// </summary>
        public string ItemFileName { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific File URL for a certain item (Varchar)
        /// </summary>
        public string ItemFileUrl { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets a specific HTML URL for a specific item (Varchar)
        /// </summary>
        public string ItemHtmlUrl { get; set; }     
       

    }

I know using the two @model tags at the top is not the correct way but don't know how to bring in two models in one view.

View:

@model F.E.Domain.Models.Response
@model F.E.Domain.Models.Item

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Board Meeting";
    //Layout = "~/Views/EditProfile/Index.cshtml";
}

<h2>Current Board Meeting</h2>


   
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-4">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label asp-for="DateCreated" class="control-label"></label>
                <input asp-for="DateCreated" type="date" asp-format="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" class="form-control" />
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <label asp-for="ItemTitle" class="control-label"></label>
                <input asp-for="ItemTitle" class="form-control" />
            </div>
            

        </div>
    </div>
    <div>
        @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { /* id = Model.PrimaryKey */ }) |
        <a asp-action="Index">Back to List</a>
    </div>

Wrap the two types in another class.

public class MyViewModel 
{
	public Response response {get; set;}
	public Item item {get; set;}
}

public class MyViewModel 
{
	public Response response {get; set;}
	public Item item {get; set;}
}

If I do this does the code in my view stay the same or will that have to be updated?

Change the view's model to MyViewModel or whatever you name the model.

Thanks I believe this is it.
