pass a different model to the partial view

Question

I am trying to pass a different model to the partial view from a view. I have two separate controller actions for both of them and two different view models. But when I call the partial view from within the view it gives me the error The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Application.ViewModels.Model1ViewModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'Application.ViewModels.PartialViewModel'. I am calling it like this: ``` @Html.Partial("_CreateUniFunctionPartial") ``` the model call in the view is ``` @model Application.ViewModels.Model1ViewModel ``` and model in partial view file is ``` @model Application.ViewModels.PartialViewModel ``` I am not sure how to pass the partial view so it doesnt give this error. EDIT Partial view ``` @model Application.ViewModels.PartialViewModel @using (Html.BeginForm("partialview", "ApplicationDetail", FormMethod.Post)) {

UniFunctionViewModel

@Html.ValidationSummary(true)

Accepted Answer

you are using the right method but not passing in the right arguments

you might want to try it like this:

```
@Html.Partial("~/[path_to_root_only_if_exists]/_CreateUniFunctionPartial.cshtml", new Application.ViewModels.PartialViewModel())
```

if you do not pass in a model, it will automatically take the one from its parent, which in your case is

```
Application.ViewModels.Model1ViewModel
```

pass a different model to the partial view
