public ActionResult AddDinner()
{
Dinner dinner = dinnerRepository.GetDinner(id);
ViewData["dinner"] = repository.AllDinners();
return View(dinner);
}
1) First, are both the dinner object and the ViewData["dinner"] is passing to the view?
2) Second, how would I iterate over the ViewData["dinner"] in the view?
1) Yes, both will be available in your view. So nothing to worry :)
2) While the data you pass to the View() method will be available from the view's Model object, you can access all the data you set in the ViewData[] set by reading them from... ViewData[]! ^_^
So anywhere in your view, you can do this:
<% foreach(Dinner d in ViewData["dinner"] as IEnumerable<Dinner>)
{
RenderPartial("Dinner", d);
} %>
Or something like that :)
dinner and ViewData["dinner"] will be available on the page. You can access dinner via the Model in the View.2.
<% foreach(Dinner d in (IEnumerable<Dinner>)ViewData["dinner"])
{
// Code goes here
} %>
dinnervariable name or the key of theViewDataitem. (Unless they contain the same thing.) Using the same name makes it hard to understand the question: imagine how much harder it will be to read your view's code.
