    Passing data from view to doctype grid editor view

    Doc Type Grid Editor Feedback
    Umbraco 7

    Using Umbraco 7.2.8 and I have a view and I want to pass some data down the the doc type grid partial, so in my main template I have:

      @Model.Content.GetGridHtml("mainContentGrid", "contentGrid", new ViewDataDictionary { { "currentProduct", productModel } })

    Then in my view for the grid component partial

    var productModel = (ProductModel) ViewData["currentProduct"];

    however that is always null. Is this even possible if not then how do i do it?

    Regards

    Ismail

    Hi Ismail,

    I'm doing something similar, but am passing the data from the grid partial into the grid editor; 

    @Html.Partial("grid/editors/base", (object)control, new ViewDataDictionary { { "css", "mega-menu" } })

    Then in the grid editor I use ViewBag to get at the data:

    @ViewBag.css

    I'm not sure if this is best practice, but it's working for me :)

    Cheers,

    James
