Generic alternative for @model in Razor view

[millenovanta]

Hi,

I'm studying the GridPanelFor example. It uses the @model keyword to define model type on which the grid should be built.

@model IEnumerable<Ext.Net.MVC.Examples.Areas.Models.GridEmployee>

I would like to pass that type from the controller, to be able to use a single view for multiple models.

My controller is:

public ActionResult RenderWindow() {

            Ext.Net.Examples.DataService ds = new Ext.Net.Examples.DataService();
            return new Ext.Net.MVC.PartialViewResult { ViewName = "Window"};
            
        }

Any ideas on how to do it?
Thank you.

UPDATE:

I found a way setting in my view
1
@model IEnumerable<object>
Now I don't know how to passa that "object" through controller.
How can I modify my controller to pass the specific (Ext.Net.MVC.Examples.Areas.Models.GridEmployee or some others) model to the view?

Thanks

I would be interested to see what you were able to come up with here.

I would be interested to see what you were able to come up with here.

I have done it like that:

public ActionResult RenderWindow() {
             List<Employee> = db.where... //build your data set
             Ext.Net.Examples.DataService ds = new Ext.Net.Examples.DataService();            return new Ext.Net.MVC.PartialViewResult { ViewName = "Window", Model = mylist}; //add model =                     }
