I have a List<> binded with some data in Controller action and I want to pass that List<> to View to bind with DataGrid in Razor View.

Passing data to view is simple as passing object to method. Take a look at Controller.View Method
protected internal ViewResult View(
Object model
)
Something like this
//controller
List<MyObject> list = new List<MyObject>();
return View(list);
//view
@model List<MyObject>
// and property Model is type of List<MyObject>
@foreach(var item in Model)
{
<span>@item.Name</span>
}
I did this;
In controller:
public ActionResult Index()
{
var invoices = db.Invoices;
var categories = db.Categories.ToList();
ViewData["MyData"] = categories; // Send this list to the view
return View(invoices.ToList());
}
In view:
@model IEnumerable<abc.Models.Invoice>
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Invoices";
}
@{
var categories = (List<Category>) ViewData["MyData"]; // Cast the list
}
@foreach (var c in @categories) // Print the list
{
@Html.Label(c.Name);
}
<table>
...
@foreach (var item in Model)
{
...
}
</table>
Hope it helps
You can use the dynamic object ViewBag
to pass data from Controllers to Views.
Add the following to your controller:
ViewBag.MyList = myList;
Then you can acces it from your view:
@ViewBag.MyList
// e.g.
@foreach (var item in ViewBag.MyList) { ... }
Create a model which contains your list and other things you need for the view.
For example:
public class MyModel
{
public List<string> _MyList { get; set; }
}
From the action method put your desired list to the Model, _MyList
property, like:
public ActionResult ArticleList(MyModel model)
{
model._MyList = new List<string>{"item1","item2","item3"};
return PartialView(@"~/Views/Home/MyView.cshtml", model);
}
In your view access the model as follows
@model MyModel
foreach (var item in Model)
{
<div>@item</div>
}
I think it will help for start.
