ViewModel to inherit more than one page type
I would strongly recommend to rethink viewmodel structure in your project and avoid these cases - when you would need to inherit from more than 1 class - just because it's not supported at all in our .Net world.
Can you maybe give a try to so called composite view models, like:
public class MyNewViewModel
{
public Answers AnswersPage { get; set; }
public Questions QuesitonsPage { get; set; }
}
That would give opportunity to avoid necessaity for multiple inheritance.

You can add a reference to the question page in your answer view model:
public class AnswerViewModel : PageViewModelBase<Answers>
{
public AnswerViewModel(Answers currentPage, ISettings siteSettings) : base(currentPage, siteSettings)
{
}
public Questions QuesitonsPage { get; set; }
}
and populate the reference in the controller:
var model = new SAnswerViewModel(currentPage, SiteSettings);
model.QuestionsPage = <Code for getting the question page to this answer page>

I have a question page with two properties
public virtual XhtmlString Description { get; set; }
public virtual Url ButtonLink {get; set; }
I have an answer page with one property
public virtual ContentArea ContentAreaContent {get; set;}
Now I want to have a view with both answer and question page properties.
But how do I create a ViewModel inheriting both the page properties
Here is my ViewModel
public class AnswerViewModel : PageViewModelBase
{ public AnswerViewModel(Answers currentPage, ISettings siteSettings) : base(currentPage, siteSettings) {}
}
Controller
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index(Answers currentPage)
{
var model = new SAnswerViewModel(currentPage, SiteSettings);
return View(model);
}
View
The above process is working fine if I just inherit Answers into ViewModel. But I would also want to include the properties of Questions page as well.
What changes do I make to ViewModel, Controller and View to also include the Questions page?
