How to Filter Model with Interface in View

Question

in my view

 Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUSerControl<Model.Person>"

How can I use an interface to restrict what the view is capable of accessing from the model? is this safe?

Answer 1

Let Person class has several properties and you want only Name property be accessible from a view. Declare interface like this and use it:

public interface RestrictedPerson
{
    string Name
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

public partial class Person: RestrictedPerson
{
}

in a view's Page directive set

Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Model.RestrictedPerson>

and pass to view Person object as usual.
