Question

I am having a problem calling a model property from my view. I may have to create an instance of it in the view.

ERROR MESSAGE: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. However inside the model it works fine.

View:

@model site.Models.modeldata  
     @foreach (System.Data.DataRow row in  Model.DataSets["test"].Tables[0].Rows)
    {
        @:row["id"] 
    }  

Model:

 public IDictionary<string, DataSet> DataSets { get; private set;

Your controller should be deciding to include the required data for the view. Refactor to use something other than a dataset.

//build up a collection in the controller
var items = new List<Customer>();
items.Add(new item{ ID = 4, CustomerName="user123"});
ViewBag.items = items;  //pass to the view via ViewBag, a dynamic object

In your view:

@foreach (var item in ViewBag.items)
{
    @:item.ID + " " + item.CustomerName
}
