My index is currently returning the user profile how can i add the tasks to display in the same view page? I was trying something with the view bag but could not get it to work

Controller

SQL

public ActionResult Index()
{
    UserProfile userprofile = db.UserProfiles.Find((int)Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey);
    if (userprofile == null)
    {
        return HttpNotFound();
    }

    return View(userprofile);

You simply need to bind the task model then you can make use of viewdata like this.

SQL

public ActionResult Index()
{
    ViewData["task"]="write code for fetching value from task model";
    UserProfile userprofile = db.UserProfiles.Find((int)Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey);
    if (userprofile == null)
    {
        return HttpNotFound();
    }

    return View(userprofile);

}

then in view simply fetch the value from viewdata

You should create a ViewModel class. For example MyNewViewModel and declare the two List of properties in this class like below

C#

public class MyNewViewModel
{
public MyNewViewModel()
{
UserProfiles=new List<userprofile>();
Tasks =new List<task>();
}
public List<userprofile> UserProfiles{get;set;}
public List<task> Tasks {get;set;}

}

In the view use the model MyNewViewModel

C#

@model MyNewViewModel
{
}
//iterate userprofiles 
@foreach (var item in Model.UserProfiles) {
}
//iterate Tasks
@foreach (var item in Model.Tasks ) {
}

Hope this helps
