How to pass data from index view to edit view

when click edit link in index page

it give me error

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies.Employee_2EF71CC17A29BA91B02BC5CDB0EE5AF82D363EEF7E174A21C9546772913AA929', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'WebCourse.Models.Customemployee'.

I have custom model

namespace WebCourse.Models Customemployee
{
public class Customemployee
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Salary { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public int DistrictId { get; set; }
public List Courses { get; set; }
public List Langs { get; set; }
}
}

and my controller empcourse

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using WebCourse.Models;
using System.Data.Entity;
namespace WebCourse.Controllers
{
public class empcourseController : Controller
{
mycourseEntities db = new mycourseEntities();
// GET: empcourse
public ActionResult Index()
{
var query = db.Employees.ToList().Select(p => new EmpInfo
{
Id = p.Id,
Name = p.Name,
Salary = Convert.ToInt32( p.Salary),
Email = p.Email,
DistrictName = p.Destrict.DistrictName,
CityName = p.Destrict.City.CityName,
CountryName = p.Destrict.City.Country.CountryName,
CourseNames = p.EmployeeCourses.Select(t => t.Course.CourseName).ToList(),
LanguageName = p.EmployeeLangages.Select(t => t.Language.LnaguageName).ToList(),
levelName = p.EmployeeLangages.Select(t => t.Level.LevelName).ToList(),
CourseName = string.Join(",", p.EmployeeCourses.Select(t => t.Course.CourseName).ToList())
});
return View(query);
}
public ActionResult Create()
{
ViewBag.CountryId = new SelectList(db.Countries, "Id", "CountryName");
ViewBag.LanaguageId = new SelectList(db.Languages.ToList(), "Id", "LnaguageName");
ViewBag.LevelId = new SelectList(db.Levels.ToList(), "Id", "LevelName");
ViewBag.CourseId = new SelectList(db.Courses.ToList(), "Id", "CourseName");
return View();
}
public ActionResult Edit(int id)
{
//how to pass data from index view to edit view
Employee old = db.Employees.Find(id);
return View(old);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Customemployee cemp)
{
using (mycourseEntities db = new mycourseEntities())
{
Employee E = new Employee { Name = cemp.Name, Salary = cemp.Salary, Email = cemp.Email, DistrictId = cemp.DistrictId };
foreach (var i in cemp.Courses)
{
E.EmployeeCourses.Add(i);
db.SaveChanges();
}
foreach (var i in cemp.Langs)
{
E.EmployeeLangages.Add(i);
db.SaveChanges();
}
db.Employees.Add(E);
db.SaveChanges();
}
return View();
}
public JsonResult getcitybyid(int id)
{
db.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
return Json(db.Cities.Where(a => a.CountryId == id), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
public JsonResult getdistrictbyid(int id)
{
db.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
return Json(db.Destricts.Where(a => a.CityId == id), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
}
}

Employeeold=db.Employees.Find(id);
if(old!=null)
{
varvm=newCustomemployee2();
vm.Name=old.Name;
vm.Email=old.Email;
vm.Salary=Convert.ToInt32(old.Salary);
vm.Districts=db.Destricts.Select(x=>newSelectListItem{Value=x.Id.ToString(),Text=x.DistrictName}).ToList();
returnView(vm);
}

Hi,
Simply you can use TempData or session to transfer data from one action to other action.
