Generic List property in ViewModel
I'm looking to include a generic List property in my ViewModel to enable me to fill that with any kind of IEnumerable list.
It's essentially to create a very simple reporting structure which then uses custom display templates to render a tabular form of the object
Is that possible?
public class ReportingViewModel
{
public List<T> Data { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
}
Then using a model in my custom display template
@model List<object>
Or similar. I've tried it using List<T> or List<object> in both the VM and custom template but to no avail.

The type argument would need to be at the class level

Thanks for the reply. Does this mean I would still require a custom template for each object type? I'm trying to avoid that and having a single Table.cshtml template which takes any object?
