Question

I have a Partial view that I would like to use on 2 different Stronly-Typed views. The data being passed is just a simple ID integer, but when I try to render the data on View #2 I get an

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type CMESurvey.ViewModels.SurveyParticipantViewModel, but this dictionary requires a model item of type CMESurvey.Models.SurveyProgramModel.

Here is the partial view code that errors:

@Html.Partial("SurveyProgramSubNav", new {ProgramId = Model.ProgramId})

This code is in a differently strong typed from my Partial View Strong Type:

@model CMESurvey.Models.SurveyProgramModel 

for the partial view, and:

@model CMESurvey.ViewModels.SurveyParticipantViewModel 

For the view that I’m having trouble with. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I think you want:

@Html.Partial("SurveyProgramSubNav", 
   new SurveyProgramModel {ProgramId = Model.ProgramId})

specify strong type of the model instead of automatic type.
