javascript - Using a partial view on two views -

i have partialview goes on 2 differnet views. 2 different views use differnet viewmodels. on 1 of view code is:

view1:

@model studentsviewmodel ...... ..... @html.partial("_studentotherinformation") 

partialview

@model studentsviewmodel @if (model.studentlist != null) { <input type="hidden" id="firststudent" value= "@model.studentlist.elementat(k-1).studentid" /> } 

view2:

@model searchviewmodel .... @html.partial("_studentotherinformation") 

as above code partial view needs access viewmodel of view1. im getting exception saying partialview getting confused viewmodel. did research , found oneway create parentviewmodel containing 2 viewmodels. problem 2 viemodels in different namespaces. there way can pass respective viewmodel partialview each of views?

you can pass viewmodel second argument:

view1:

@model studentsviewmodel ...... ..... @html.partial("_studentotherinformation", model) 

view2:

@model searchviewmodel .... @html.partial("_studentotherinformation", model) 

however, doesn't allow pass 2 different types.

what make base class, put common properties in there , inherit 2 viewmodels base class. it's no problem in different namespaces. need reference correct namespaces:

public class parentviewmodel {     public list<student> studentlist{ get; set; } }  public class studentsviewmodel : your.namespace.parentviewmodel {      // other properties here }  public class searchviewmodel: your.namespace.parentviewmodel {      // other properties here } 

your partial view should typed base-class:

partialview

@model parentviewmodel @if (model.studentlist != null) { <input type="hidden" id="firststudent" value= "@model.studentlist.elementat(k-1).studentid" /> }
