How to access different model properties in same view inMVC4

Question

Hi Is it possible to access the different model properties for same view

My VisitorsViewModel model

public DateTime FromDate { get; set; }

public DateTime ToDate { get; set; }

My View_VisitorsForm Model

public System.Guid VisitingID { get; set; }

public string Employee { get; set; }

public string CustomerName { get; set; }

public Nullable<System.DateTime> VisitingDate { get; set; }

public string StartTime { get; set; }

public string EndTime { get; set; }

public string SpendTime { get; set; }

public string POVisit { get; set; }

Is it possible to access two different model properties in same view? i tried to explain my issue as per my level best. please any one give me solution.

You will face problems As i said you should create a viewmodel class for this view which contains all the properties which you need. because as you select the fromDate and toDate it's should be binded to the controller model and once you return the records to the view than also the date will binded to the view. Create a ViewModel class public DateTime FromDate { get; set; } public DateTime ToDate { get; set; } public string ContactPerson { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public string Employee { get; set; } public string CustomerName { get; set; } public Nullable VisitingDate { get; set; } public string StartTime { get; set; } public string EndTime { get; set; } public string NextAppointment{ get; set; } and use this model

If you want these properties in the view it's better you add those properties in the viewmodel it self. else you can access them by @using projectName.Model with this you will be able to access the class. It's better you create those properties in your view model class
