Dear community,

For a special purpose, I need to create a block each time I render a page (I need to reuse an EPiServer block in a non EPiServer page). This is fairly easy to do with a view model. Let's assume my view model is defined as:

public class ViewModel
    {
        public MyBlock Block
        {
            get
            {
               return new MyBlock 
                {
                    // Some predefined properties are set here
                };
            }
        }
    }

In the code above, the view model exposes a new instance of MyBlock, that inherits from BlockData. Finally, I render the block in my view:

@Html.PropertyFor(m => m.Block)

Do you see any issue of doing that ? Does it create unnecessary reference in the database each time I create a new instance of a class that inherits from BlockData ?

Many thanks !

Kind Regards,
