Hello,

1) Let's say I've a class MyDataInfo

public class MyDataInfo
{
  public int MyDataInfoID { get; set; }
  public string Name { get; set; }
}

For the purpose of the fuctionality I'm after, I've created another class (MyData) whose property members are of MyDataInfo type.

2) Here's myData

public class MyData
{
  public MyDataInfo Prop1 { get; set; }
  public MyDataInfo Prop2 { get; set; }
}

3) And, here's my action method

public ActionResult MyAction()
{
  MyData myObject = new MyData();
  return View(myObject);
}

4) Finally, this in my View template (which is strongly typed and inherits from MyData)

<% = Html.Encode (Model.Prop1.Name)%>
<% = Html.Encode (Model.Prop2.Name)%>

Unfortunately, I got an error "Object not set to an instance of an object."

Am I missing something or is there a different way of obtaining the same result?

Thanks for helping
