ASP.NET MVC, create View method that would return multiple objects to the view

Question

Is there a way to create a View() method that would return multiple objects, for example, I would like to call it something like this:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
  public ActionResult Index()
  {
    return View(CustomObject1 customObject1, CustomObject2 customObject2);
  }
}

Well, I was doing some custom override for RazorViewEngine, and this came to my mind, so I wanted to see if this is possible, and to see how.. — Александар Пламенац

Yes, it's possible, just create a view model:

public class MyViewModel
{
    public CustomObject1 CustomObject1 { get; set; }
    public CustomObject2 CustomObject2 { get; set; }
}

which you will pass to the view:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    var model = new MyViewModel();
    model.CustomObject1 = customObject1;
    model.CustomObject2 = customObject2;
    return View(model);
}

and finally make your view strongly typed to this view model:

@model MyViewModel

and access the corresponding properties when needed:

 <div>@Model.CustomObject1.FoorBar</div>
