ASP.NET MVC View can't see member of an anonymous object viewModel-CodePudding

I am trying to create an anonymous object view model with one member being from the Models folder, and another being from my own custom classes folder:

var viewModel = new {
    test1 = new Models.Test1(),
    test2 = new Classes.Test2()
};

return View(viewModel);

In the view, @Model, if you pause/breakpoint, and inspect it with the Visual Studio debugger, contains:

Model [press enter]:

{ Test1 = {MVC_Test1.Models.Test1}, Test2 = {MVC_Test1.Classes.Test2} }
    Test1: {MVC_Test1.Models.Test1}
    Test2: {MVC_Test1.Classes.Test2}

However, if you try the following:

Model.Test1 [press enter]

'Model.Test1' threw an exception of type 'Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException'
Message: "'object' does not contain a definition for 'Test1'"

What is wrong? Is there a way to refer to a dynamically created view model done this way? Or must I explicitly create a class that instantiates Models.Test1() and Classes.Test2() into one class, and use that instead of the anonymous object?

CodePudding user response：

there is no sense in anonymous model for view, since you will have to create a anomymous input controls, so create a real typed view model

public class ViewModel
{   
public Test1 Test1 {get; set;}
public Test2 Test2 {get; set;}  
};

model  = new ViewModel {
    test1 = new Models.Test1(),
    test2 = new Classes.Test2()
};

return View(model);
