ASP.NET Display more than one entry/row - asp.net-mvc

Question

I'm quite new to ASP.NET MVC. I am creating a holiday tracking app, and I'm attempting to create a details page for each Employee. I want this page to display a table showing a table of all the holiday request that employee has taken. I've gotten it to work but it only shows only one row.
Here's my models
public partial class Employee
{
public int EmployeeID { get; set; }
public string FullName { get; set; }
public string EmailID { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public System.DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
public int RoleID { get; set; }
public int ShiftID { get; set; }
public int AreaID { get; set; }
public int DisciplineID { get; set; }
public int SiteID { get; set; }
public int ALCategory { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> HoursTaken { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> AwardedLeave { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> TotalHoursThisYear { get; set; }
public int HoursCarriedForward { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> EntitlementRemainingThisYear { get; set; }
public string Comments { get; set;}
}
Employee Model:
public class EmployeeViewModel
{
public Employee Employee { get; set; }
public HolidayRequestForm HolidayRequestForm { get; set; }
}
Holiday Request Form Model:
public partial class HolidayRequestForm
{
public int RequestID { get; set; }
public int EmployeeID { get; set; }
public System.DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
public System.DateTime FinishDate { get; set; }
public int HoursTaken { get; set; }
public string Comments { get; set; }
public int YearCreated { get; set; }
public int MonthCreated { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> DayCreated { get; set; }
public Nullable<int> YearOfHoliday { get; set; }
public virtual Employee Employee { get; set; }
}
Controller Action:
public ActionResult Details(int? id)
{
Employee employee = db.Employees.FirstOrDefault(emp => emp.EmployeeID == id);
HolidayRequestForm holidayRequestForm db.HolidayRequestForms.FirstOrDefault(emp => emp.EmployeeID == id);
EmployeeViewModel employeeViewModel = new EmployeeViewModel()
{
Employee = employee,
HolidayRequestForm = holidayRequestForm,
};
return View(employeeViewModel);
}
My View is then just a HTML table to display the data from the database.
So the question is how do I display more than one row or entry?? Is it that I'm using FirstorDefault?

Answer 1

You must change Employee Model and declare a list for the Holiday :
Employee Model:
public class EmployeeViewModel
{
public Employee Employee { get; set; }
public List<HolidayRequestForm> HolidayRequestForm { get; set; }
}
Controller Action:
public ActionResult Details(int? id)
{
Employee employee = db.Employees.FirstOrDefault(emp => emp.EmployeeID == id);
List<HolidayRequestForm> holidayRequestForm = db.HolidayRequestForms.Where(emp => emp.EmployeeID == id).ToList();
EmployeeViewModel employeeViewModel = new EmployeeViewModel()
{
Employee = employee,
HolidayRequestForm = holidayRequestForm,
};
return View(employeeViewModel);
}
