hi I have a main view in which i want to call a partial view , but my partial view is not static it is having model and both the models (main view model and partial view model are different) not when i write

@Html.Partial("MyPartialView")

it says that object reference is not set to an instance it mean "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

it means i need to call the controller method as well along with partial view how to achieve that basically in partial view i am listing my records .

Hi Mark,

While calling Partial View from your main view, you are not passing the Model with it, that's why its giving you Object reference error.

Update your Partial View call as below in your main view.
@{ Html.Partial("MyPartialView",Model.students);}

i have created a viewmodel but my viewmodel contain two properties in the form of list

public List students { get; set; }
public List Student_experience { get; set; },
so on view it gives error it ask me to use
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.students[0].Student_CNIC, new { htmlAttributes = new { placeholder = "Student CNIC # *", @class = "form-control" } })

if i remove [0] then it gives syntax error

Create viewmodel for partial view and then pass it's data.
