The short answer is that using anonymous types is not supported, however, there is a workaround, you can use an ExpandoObject
Set your model to
@model IEnumerable<dynamic>
Then in the controller
from p in db.Articles.Where(p => p.user_id == 2)
select new
{
p.article_id,
p.title,
p.date,
p.category,
/* Additional parameters which arent in Article model */
}.ToExpando();
...
public static class Extensions
{
public static ExpandoObject ToExpando(this object anonymousObject)
{
IDictionary<string, object> anonymousDictionary = HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(anonymousObject);
IDictionary<string, object> expando = new ExpandoObject();
foreach (var item in anonymousDictionary)
expando.Add(item);
return (ExpandoObject)expando;
}
}
