How to access foreign key values on MVC view? - sql-server

Question

I'm having trouble accessing foreign key values in my view without using a partial.
I have tblProperty as Primary_Key and tblCustomer as foreign_key. I want to access the values of my foreign keys in my view but can't figure out why.
Model
public partial class tblProperty
{
public tblProperty()
{
this.Images = new HashSet<Image>();
this.tblCustomers = new HashSet<tblCustomer>();
}
public int propertyID { get; set; }
public string address { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Image> Images { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<tblCustomer> tblCustomers { get; set; }
}
public partial class tblCustomer
{
public int customerID { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public decimal contactNumber { get; set; }
public string notes { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> propertyID { get; set; }
public virtual tblProperty tblProperty { get; set; }
}
controller
public class propertyController : Controller
{
propertyDBEntities2 dc = new propertyDBEntities2();
public ActionResult List()
{
var properties = dc.tblProperties.Include(p => p.tblCustomers);
return View(properties.ToList());
}
public ActionResult Details(int id = 0)
{
var properties = dc.tblProperties.Include(p => p.tblCustomers);
tblProperty property = dc.tblProperties.Find(id);
tblCustomer customer = dc.tblCustomers.Find(id);
if (properties == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
return View(dc.tblProperties.Find(id));
}
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost, ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Create(tblProperty e)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
using (dc)
{
dc.tblProperties.Add(e);
dc.SaveChanges();
}
}
return RedirectToAction("List");
}
view
(like model.name is trying to access name from tblCustomer)
#model myProject.tblProperty
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.name)

Answer 1

tblProperty doesnt have name.
I guess you need
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.tblCustomer.name)
But just debug it or use intellisense
EDIT:
In my project I create a dtoClass Data Transfer Object
So for my avl class I have a dtoAvl
avl Class:
public partial class avl
{
public avl()
{
this.cars = new HashSet<cars>();
}
public long avl_id { get; set; }
public Nullable<long> car_id { get; set; }
public Nullable<decimal> speed { get; set; }
// this class contain info regarding the road
public virtual manila_rto manila_rto { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<cars> cars { get; set; }
}
I create a dtoAvl
public class dtoAvl
{
public long Avl_ID { get; set; }
public long? Car_ID { get; set; }
public string RoadName { get; set; } // came from manila_rto
public int Speed { get; set; }
}
My controler
List<dtoAvl> result = db.avls.Select(
r => new dtoAvl
{
Avl_ID = r.Avl_ID,
Car_ID = r.Car_ID,
Speed = r.Speed,
// here is a propery but can be a list
RoadName = r.manila_rto.name
}).ToList();
return PartialView(result);
View:
#model IEnumerable<dtoAvl>
