How to pass multiple models to

I am a newbie MVC developer , I made a simple website in which i have _Layout.cshtml in the layout i have different partial views like for header , for footer they are static and my work goes well, now the situation arises where i have a Menu link Like services and these services are coming from database so i made a simple database table I am new to mvc i do not know how to get data from database into the partial view ,

secondly i did the above task via internet help but now when i am calling this partial view then it is already having one model referenced so i cannot reference another model like @model Myapplication.Models.Service

How i can render a partial view in _layout.cshtml without giving the model reference in the _layout.cshtml or how to give multiple models in _layout.cshtml.

Thanks for reply

With respect to MVC, I am probably -8.6 in scale of 1 to 10.
However, my logic says that all you have to do is create a container class and pass it as a model.
Let me try to demonstrate this:
Your existing implementation:
return View(oldModel);
New proposed implementation:
public class NewModel
{
public OldModel oldModel {get; set;}
public MenuModel menuModel {get; set;}
}
return View(newModel);
Now while accessing on the page you can say Model.oldModel or Model.menuModel.
Hope it helps!
