Override view with different model

Vote:
 


Model PageType:SamplePage.cs
public virtual XhtmlString MainBody { get; set; }

Controller: SamplePageController.cs
public ActionResult Index(SamplePage currentPage)
{
PageViewModel model = new PageViewModel(currentPage);
return View(model);
}

SamplePage/Index.cshtml
@model EPiServerSite1.Models.ViewModels.PageViewModel

The above works fine. 


But I am trying to send a different view in the controller like below:

public ActionResult Index(SamplePage currentPage)
{
List data = new List(Getvalues());
return View(model);
}

where

public class ABCBlockModel
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public double Score { get; set; }
public string Sector { get; set; }
}


so the Index can have
@model IEnumerable

But the view the tightly bound with SamplePage it seems. Can the view have 'ABCBlockModel'

Hi,

I think what you're looking for is something called a "viewmodel". A viewmodel is a model that you instantiate and populate based on your model and/or any other data you need the view to know about. Please read more about here -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11064316/what-is-viewmodel-in-mvc
