Question

I have strongly typed list view

I have custom html helper which must get IEnumerable<object>

does it possible to pass my model(@model IEnumerable<MvcApplication2.Models.UserViewModel>) to my html helper?

Answer 1

If your helper is defined like this:

public static IHtmlString SomeHelper(this HtmlHelper<IEnumerable<object>> html)

then it is not possible to call it like this:

@model IEnumerable<MvcApplication2.Models.UserViewModel>
@Html.SomeHelper()

If on the other hand it is defined like this:

public static IHtmlString SomeHelper(this HtmlHelper html, IEnumerable<object> model)

you could call it from your view and pass the model:

@model IEnumerable<MvcApplication2.Models.UserViewModel>
@Html.SomeHelper(Model)
