I receive a List of objects in my controller from my asp.net web application. How can I pass this list to the view2 and display it?
Controller
public class HomeController:Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
WCF.CommunicationServiceClient Client = new WCF.CommunicationClient("BasicHttpBinding_ICommunicationService");
List<object> objectlist = Client.GetList("_something_");
return View("ShowView");
}
}
My biggest Problem is that this "object" is defined in another solution.

You should define your object in another project. For example, 'DataTransferObjects'. Then you add a reference to this project in both your WCF Server project and your MVC (WCF Client) project. This way the class will be known by both.
In your DTO project:
[DataContract]
public class MyClass
{
[DataMember]
public int MyProperty { get; set; }
}
Then your code would be:
public class HomeController:Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
WCF.CommunicationServiceClient Client = new WCF.CommunicationClient("BasicHttpBinding_ICommunicationService");
List<MyClass> objectlist = Client.GetList("_something_");
return View("ShowView", objectlist);
}
}
And your ShowView:
@model List<MyClass>
@for (i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
@Html.EditorFor(m => Model[i].MyProperty)
}
You need to pass the objectlist as view model to the view. I think the dynamic class will come in handy when defining your @model on the view.
Basic MVC really.
Create a strongly typed view then pass object to it like return View(objectlist );
You can use the dynamic instead of Object in the List like this, As you don't know what the object have grab.
public class HomeController:Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
WCF.CommunicationServiceClient Client = new WCF.CommunicationClient("BasicHttpBinding_ICommunicationService");
List<dynamic> objectlist = Client.GetList("_something_");
return View("ShowView");
}
}
Know more about dynamic click here Also one other Question that may be relates List with Dynamic Object Type
