Would like some assistance in regards with this, as there is not real clear help in regards with including existing model into dialog views.

I am new to C# and Razor. Any assistance would be appreciated as long as it is constructive and helpfull.

Just trying to pull my model data into the view to generate a data table on the list of items.

```
Dealer Model
```

namespace BidWheels.Data
{
    public class Dealers
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string DealershipName { get; set; }
        public string DealershipAddress { get; set; }
        public int DealershipTownID { get; set; }
        public string DealershipTown { get; set; }
        public string ContactName { get; set; }
        public string ContactSurname { get; set; }
        public string ContactNumber { get; set; }
        public string ContactNumber2 { get; set; }
        public string ContactEmailAddress { get; set; }
        public string AspNetUserId { get; set; }
        public string Email { get; set; }
    }
}

What do you mean by "dialog views"? I don't recognise this as a known technical term. Do you just mean a regular "view"?

If so, then you specify the model you want to use in the view like this (usually as the first line in the cshtml file):

C#

@model BidWheels.Data.Dealers

That will provide you an instance of the Dealers class, but looks like you want a list. So you probably want to create a new view model class with a dealers list:

C#

public class DealersViewModel
{
    public List<Dealers> Dealers { get; set; };
}

Then in your view:

HTML

@model BidWheels.Data.DealersViewModel

...

@{
    foreach(var item in Model.Dealers)
    {
        <span>@item.DealershipName</span>
    }
}

You also need to pass the model instance to the view in your controller:

C#

public ActionResult MyDealers()
{
    var model = new DealersViewModel();
    model.Dealers = new List<Dealers>(); // Populate your list here.
    return View(model);
}

A good way to get a head-start on this would be to simply right-click on the Collection's ActionResult method and select the Create New View option which will generally give you the HTML with all the @Razor markup needed.

You did not provide the code from the Controller so there is no way to tell exactly what you got going on- generally you would return a Model or a Collection of type Model.

Your current View is running a for...each loop across what can only be assumed to be a Dealer Collection. Then item would simply be a single instance of a Dealer and the properties should be easily accessed. This whole thing will fail though if the code you have not shared is not doing what is assumed

HTML

<tbody>
  <tr>
    @{
      foreach(var item in Data.Dealers) {
        <td>@item.DealershipName</td>
        <!-- other properties here -->
      }
    }
  </tr>
</tbody
