In this screencast, I show you how to create maintainable and readable ASP.NET MVC razor views by refactoring them into smaller, reusable blocks with partial views.

Thank you so much for the Video, everything is so clear and straight forward, its really nice
I was just wondering what if I wanted to pass my datat directly to the view
When returning the partial view to an Index page it works just fine
Index.cshtml
@model IEnumerable
@foreach (var item in Model) {
@Html.Partial(“_mydata”, item)
}
_mydata.cshtml is in my Page4 views folder
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => @Model.Page4Entry)
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => @Model.TimePosted)
But when I place my partial view in my shared folder
@model IEnumerable
@foreach (var item in Model) {
@Html.Partial(“_mydata”, item)
}
I get this error
The model item passed into the dictionary is of type ‘System.Collections.Generic.List`1[PassingData01.Models.Home]’, but this dictionary requires a model item of type ‘System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[PassingData01.Models.Page4]’.
Your help will be very much appreciated
The problem is you are passing the wrong type to your page from your controller.
