✅ Passing data from controller to view

Hi guys hoping for some help here.

I have an eCommerce wep app using ASP.NET MVC (7.0) and I want to pass data from a controller to a view. Now I understand I can do this with the ViewBag dynamic property or strongly typed view models. The data I want pass belongs to another model entirely and not the model for which the View is for.

I have a Game model which has 2 FK's Developer and Publisher
  • within my create() View for the Game Model I wish to have a drop down list of Developers in the database to select from. How do I achieve this? Been stuck on this step for a while now and I'm still very new to .NET.
thought I could do something like this:

                        <div class="form-group">
                         <label asp-for="DeveloperId" class="control-label"></label>
                        <select asp-for="DeveloperId" class="form-control" asp-items="ViewBag.Developer"></select>
                         <span asp-validation-for="DeveloperId" class="text-danger"></span>
                        </div>


Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
