Create view from view model to show data from two table

Schleid Alex

I want to create a "Create view" to enter information for both employee and address from a single page... I have my employemodel and my addressmodel. I am creating an EmployeeViewModel like this

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace gpos.Models
{
public class EmployeeViewModel
{
public EmployeeModel NewEmployeViewModel { get; set; }
public AddressModel NewAddressViewModel { get; set; }
}
}

now in my controller create action I want to generate a view to show data from both employee and address... I know I must use the viewModel but still not clear for me. I would really appreciate some help, tutorial reference...

Thank you so much

Create a separate ViewModel with all the parameters that you want to input. Further if you want to share data with other class Models use AutoMapper to automatically bind data to specific class object(s).
