MVC: Data Models and View Models

by

At its heart, two models is about Separation of Concerns. I want my View to work off of a single Model. I want my Domain Model to represent the conceptual model I build with the domain experts. ViewModel often has technical constraints. Domain Model is about POCO, and not being bound by technical constraints of either data shown (View) or persisted (in a DB or otherwise).

Suppose I have three entities shown on a screen. Does that mean I need to force a relationship between the three? Or just create a ViewModel component object that contains all three items. With a separate ViewModel, View concerns are separated from my domain.
