OK, So i have been watching some MVC vids and reading some bits. I am new to the entire MVC pattern, and until now have been happily wrapped up in the web forms world!

Like with so many demos it all seems great and I’m sure I’ll have lots I dont understand as I move along, but in the first instance…

I can see that you can have a strongly typed view, which gets data from the controller. What happens if I want data in a view from different object types?? Say i want to show a grid of cars and a grid of people, which are not related in anyway??

Thx Steve

  1. Setup your strongly typed ViewData class with two properties like this

    public class MyViewData  {    public IEnumerable<Car> Cars { get; set; }   public IEnumerable<People> People { get; set; } }

    and then fill them in the controller, Sorry for the duplicate. In good MVC spirit try to use interfaces where possible to make your code more generic
