Simple way to pass parameter to partial view with Umbraco 8
What's the simplest way to pass a parameter to a partial view in Umbraco 8 ? I am (still) inexperienced with MVC and I am grateful for some insight.

I want to pass a IEnumerable<PublishedElementModel> parameter (the value of a a nested content property) to a partial view.

Using Macro Partials doesn't work out of the box. IEnumerable<PublishedElementModel> is not available as a macro parameter type.

This is my view definition:
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<ContentModels.NestedContent>
```
the model type NestedContent has a nested content property MyNestedContentProperty.

With the partial view inPageNav defined as
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<IEnumerable<PublishedElementModel>>
```
calling the partial like
```
var items = Model.MyNestedContentProperty as IEnumerable<PublishedElementModel>;
@Html.Partial("inPageNav", items);
```
throws

Cannot bind source type Umbraco.Web.PublishedModels.NestedContent to model type System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[[Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.PublishedElementModel, Umbraco.Core, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]].

Defining the view instead as
```
@model IEnumerable<PublishedElementModel> 
```
throws

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Umbraco.Web.PublishedModels.NestedContent', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.PublishedElementModel]'.

I know that I don't really understand how it is supposed to work. I am grateful for some hints in the right direction. Thank you!

Hey Mikael, You can simply pass the Model to a Partial View

1)
```
@model exampl.Models..Example
<div class="row-fluid">

         @Html.Partial("~/Views/example/_examplePartial.cshtml", Model)

</div>
```
2)
```
@{
Html.RenderPartial("your view", your_model);
}
```
Please see here for more info

https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Templating/Mvc/partial-views

https://www.jondjones.com/learn-umbraco-cms/umbraco-7-tutorials/umbraco-and-mvc/how-to-use-mvc-partials-in-umbraco/

And from your code, I can see that the error is throwing because of Passing Model and binding models are different.

Cannot bind source type Umbraco.Web.PublishedModels.NestedContent to model type System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable1[[Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.PublishedElementModel]].

Please use the same Model for both passing and binding

IF the above is not working, please use the dynamic way

here
```
@Html.Partial("YourPartialName", (object)CurrentPage.example)
```
//PartialView
```
@model dynamic
var custommodel= (object)Model
```

Danesh,

thank you for your answer. Now I get it :-)

I was thinking too complicated. I got it working in no time thanks to your advice.

Very cool. Mikael

You can also pass parameters in a ViewDataDictionary like this:
```
@Html.Partial("PartialView.cshtml", Model, new ViewDataDictionary { { "parameter1", parameter1 }, { "parameter2", parameter2 } })
```
Here I'm passing the Model, and 2 parameters into the PartialView.

In the PartialView you can then do like this to access the parameters:
```
var parameter1 = ViewData["parameter1"];
```

Always ready with a great answer, Sebastian :-)

I however would like to share a version which uses a bit more code, as I had issues with doing it using your inline version. Maybe other developers will also get the same issues as me and could use this version.
```
@{
var viewData = new ViewDataDictionary(ViewData);
viewData.Add("parameter1", parameter1);
}
@Html.Partial("PartialView", Model, viewData)
```
1. I did the creation of viewData in a code block
2. I used the PartialView name, not including the .cshtml extention

Same problem but now for Umbraco 13:

Page
@await Html.PartialAsync("Site/NewsArticles", Model, new ViewDataDictionary(ViewData) { { "parameter1", "test" } }


Inside partial view
@ViewData["parameter1"]
