I currently have an application with a home page that shows a list of ten movies based on the date they were "created", or entered into the database. I would also like to show a list of the top ten movies based on the rating of each movie. Is there a way to pass in another model or alter my current ViewModel to do this? Here is the Index section of my Home Controller:
public ActionResult Index()
{
var model =
_db.Movies
.OrderByDescending(m => m.DateEntered)
.Take(10)
.Select(m => new MovieListViewModel
{
Id = m.Id,
Title = m.Title,
Genre = m.Genre,
ReleaseDate = m.ReleaseDate,
CountOfReviews = m.Reviews.Count()
});
return View(model);
}
And the ViewModel being passed in:
public class MovieListViewModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Genre { get; set; }
[Display(Name="Year Released")]
public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
public int CountOfReviews { get; set; }
}
