Hi,
I am learning asp.net mvc. I am confused about using View Model. Could any one please give me some example or demonstrate this concept so that it will clear my confusion. Also, can you suggest me a small tutorial so that I too can practice myself.

Please help.

Best Regards,
Rohan Laghate

0	Rohan, I will give you a small example to make you understand easily. This doesnt make more sense but this beginner terminology might help you to get basic info on what a viewmodel is. If you create a website like fb.. 1. Home page displays Friends Status 2. Home page displays Your profile pic 3. Home page displays advertisements There are 3 models here FriendsStatus.cs ProfileDetails.cs Advertisements.cs Considering MVC - view get data from single model. We have to show all there models info in home page. How? Create a view model HomeViewModel = FriendsStatus+ProfileDetails+Advertisements (Combination of view model or combination of required properties in models) Use this HomeViewModel in Facebook Home View. This is how we pass multiple models to a view. That is called creating a model required by a view. In layman term, Model required by a view is a view model. Its not mandatory that you take all properties in models to create a view model. Just create a view model with what ever properties view demand. Let me know if you need a free online training on working on View models.
