Hi,

I am developing a commernce site and need to deal with a lot of data. What's the best way to design the View Models and the Page types and block types? 

Curently, I am referring the Page Type inside the View Model and passing the model to the view. This is working fine. But when I need to use Blocks, this is not working. BlocksData is referred by the MainContentArea using @Html.PropertyFor and I am not finding any way to pass the data or view model to the Block template. I tried many options to pass the data and but nothing seems to work. 

Am I doing correct by referring the page type inside a View Model? A sample view model and controller is below.

public class DeliveryViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
///

///

///

}

public class DeliveryPage : CommonOrderDetails
{
public virtual ContentArea MainContentArea { get; set; }
}

public class TransactionBlock : BlockData
{
[Display(
Name = "Header",
Description = "Enter a header for the block",
GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
Order = 1)]
[Required]
public virtual string Header { get; set; }

[Display(
Name = "Description",
Description = "Enter a Description for the block",
GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
Order = 2)]
[Required]
public virtual XhtmlString Description { get; set; }

}

public ActionResult Index(DeliveryPage currentPage)
{
var model = new DeliveryViewModel();
model.CurrentPage = currentPage;

return this.View(model);

}

public class TransactionBlockController : BlockController
{
public override ActionResult Index(TransactionBlock currentblock)
{
return PartialView(currentblock);
}

}

And Inside the Delivery-> Index.cshtml I am calling the MainContentArea like below

@foreach (var model in Model.TransactionData)
{@Html.PropertyFor(x => x.CurrentPage.MainContentArea)

}

Is this correct? Is there any better way?

Thanks
