Question

Im currenty develoding a website using mvc 3 razor but have a little problem. I want to make a view that contains a submit form and a list. “Add product” and “List of products” should be in the same view. First I tought that partial views would be the solution but cant figure out how to make it work. Have no idea of how to pass a list of objects (products) to a partial view.
Someone has an idea of how to solve my problem?

MainView-Model:

public MainViewModel{

      public IList<Product> AvailableProducts{
           get; set;
      }
      public IList<Product> SelectedProducts{
           get; set;
      }
}

Mainview:

 @Html.RenderPartial("_SelectedProductsPartial", Model.SelectedProducts)  

Partial View:

 @model IList<Product>

Controller:

 public ActionResult MainView(){

 MainViewModel model = new MainViewModel();
 model.AvailableProducts = ...;
 model.SelectedProducts = ...;

 return View(model);
