pass a different model to the partial view

Question

I am trying to pass a different model to the partial view from a view. I have two separate controller actions for both of them and two different view models. But when I call

One thing you will need to do is regenerate a model or utilize a property in the model. For example:

 public class OuterViewModel
 {
     public InnerViewModel InnerViewModel { get; set; }
 }

 public class InnerViewModel
 {
     public string SomeProperty { get; set; }
 }

In the top page, you can accept the OuterViewModel, then pass the InnerViewModel to the Partial.

Outer.cshtml:

 @model OuterViewModel
 @Html.Partial("_InnerPartial", Model.InnerViewModel)

_InnerPartial.cshtml:

 @model InnerViewModel
 @using (Html.BeginForm("Inner", "Controller"))
 {
      

          @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
          @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.SomeProperty)
          
      
 }
