Hello Garima,

There are several approaches you can use to achieve the solution.

Add the "departmentName" property in the MasterModel class. This is only possible if there is one to one relationship.

public class MasterModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string AuthorityName { get; set; }
    public string DepartmentName { get; set; }
}

Create a view model class and encapsulate the properties to the single class.

public class PPAApplicationViewModel
{
    public MasterModel masterModel { get; set; }
    public DepartmentModel departmentModel { get; set; } // For One to One relationship
	//public List departmentModel { get; set; } // For One to Many relationship
}

public class MasterModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string AuthorityName { get; set; }
}

public class DepartmentModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string DepartmentName { get; set; }
}

Thanks

Hello Garima,

You can create below model and view model for both model in single model,

public class MasterModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    // more properties if you have
}

public class Department
{
    public int DepartmentId { get; set; }
    public string DepartmentName { get; set; }
    // more properties if you have
}

View model :

public class MasterViewModel
{
    public MasterModel Master { get; set; }
    public List Departments { get; set; }
}

Sample Data which you need to bring from database,

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        // Simulate fetching data from a database
        MasterModel master = new MasterModel
        {
            Id = 1,
            Name = "Master Name"
            // Add more properties as per your model
        };

        List departments = new List
        {
            new Department { DepartmentId = 1, DepartmentName = "HR" },
            new Department { DepartmentId = 2, DepartmentName = "IT" },
            new Department { DepartmentId = 3, DepartmentName = "Finance" }
             // Add more properties as per your model
        };

        MasterViewModel viewModel = new MasterViewModel
        {
            Master = master,
            Departments = departments
        };

        return View(viewModel);
    }
}

Display in View :

@model YourNamespace.Models.MasterViewModel




    Master and Department List


    Master Details
    
        Id:
        @Model.Master.Id
    
    
        Name:
        @Model.Master.Name
    

    Departments
    
        @foreach (var department in Model.Departments)
        {
            @department.DepartmentName
        }
