Question

Want to use two models in one view. I have two controllers one for current user

 public class ProfileModel
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public decimal Balance { get; set; }
        public decimal RankNumber { get; set; }
        public decimal RankID { get; set; }
        public string PorfileImgUrl { get; set; }
        public string Username { get; set; }
    }

and second for firends

 public class FriendsModel 
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string ProfilePictureUrl { get; set; }
        public string RankName { get; set; }
        public decimal RankNumber { get; set; }
    }

Profile model contains always one item and Friend model contains list

I have made new model which contains both models :

public class FullProfileModel 
    {
        public ProfileModel ProfileModel { get; set; }
        public FriendsModel FriendModel { get; set; }
    }

I tried to fill FullProfile model like this

List<FriendsModel> fmList = GetFriendsData(_UserID);

            FullProfileModel fullModel = new FullProfileModel();

            fullModel.ProfileModel = pm;
            fullModel.FriendModel = fmList.ToList();

but visual studio gives an error on .ToList()

error:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<NGGmvc.Models.FriendsModel>' to 'NGGmvc.Models.FriendsModel'

Please advice me something how i can show two models in single view.

p.s. im using mvc3 razor view engine

Thanks

You are trying to set a property of type FriendsModel with a value of List.

 public FriendsModel FriendModel { get; set; }

Change to:

public class FullProfileModel 
    {
        public ProfileModel ProfileModel { get; set; }
        public IList<FriendsModel> FriendModel { get; set; }
    }
