Question

I am new in learning asp.net MVC and am trying to access some data from the controller in my view. This is my code:

public ActionResult Index(string subcategory)
{
    List<Object> products = db.ListOfProducts(subcategory);

    return View(products);
}

I know that after passing the LIST into the VIEW there should be some way to acces the data in the VIEW but I can’t seem to figure out how.
Normally when I create a view based on a model I know that by using the model object I can acces the data I need, but usually theres a definiton on the top regarding the model and in my caase there is none.

So how can I acces the LISTS data in my view?

Answer 1

Add this to the top of your view to define the model type:

@model List<Object>

You may need to namespace this as either:

@using Systems.Collections.Generic;
@model List<Object>

or

@model Systems.Collections.Generic.List<Object>
