With Umbraco 7, Visual Studio 2013 and MVC, I am using webGrid to display a list of links to documents, each with a date field.

Accordingly, the data collected by the controller is a list and the View uses IEnumerable to display the collection in the webGrid.

But I also need to pass a single value to the View (this value is the ID of the folder containing the documents). Because the View is IEnumerable, I can't work out how to get this single value.

My code is as follows.

using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;

    namespace ParishMaster.Models
    {
        public class DocumentList
        {
            public string Document { get; set; }
            public DateTime Date { get; set; }
            public string Description { get; set; }
            public string Url { get; set; }
            public string PageName { get; set; } //  This is the single value property.
        }
    }


    using ParishMaster.Models;
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.Mvc;
    using Umbraco.Web.Mvc;

    namespace ParishMaster.Controllers
    {
        public class DocumentListSurfaceController : SurfaceController
        {
            // GET: DocumentList
            public ActionResult Index()
            {
                DocumentList vDocument = new DocumentList();
                List<DocumentList> vDocumentList = new List<DocumentList>();

                var page = Umbraco.Content(1096);
                var vPageName = page.name;
                vDocument.PageName = vPageName;  //This is the single value property

                foreach (var child in page.Children)
                {
                    vDocument = new DocumentList();
                    vDocument.Document = child.name;
                    vDocument.Date = child.dtpDocumentDate.Date;
                    vDocument.Description = child.dtpDocumentDescription;
                    vDocument.Url = Umbraco.Media(child.dtpDocumentFile).Url;
                    vDocumentList.Add(vDocument);
                }

                var data = vDocumentList;

                return PartialView("DocumentList", data);

            }
        }
    }

@model IEnumerable<ParishMaster.Models.DocumentList>

@{
    WebGrid vGrid = new WebGrid(Model, defaultSort: "Date", rowsPerPage: 12);
}

<h3>
    @*How do I write the PageName property value here.*@
</h3>

    @vGrid.GetHtml(
            alternatingRowStyle: "docList-alternating-row",
            tableStyle: "docList-table",
            headerStyle: "docList-header",
            footerStyle: "docList-footer",
            columns: new[] {
        vGrid.Column("Date", header: "Date"),
        vGrid.Column("Document", format: @<text><a href="@Href(item.Url)" target="_blank">@item.Document</a></text>),
    })

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation.
