How to generate create view with nested objects in MVC 5?

Question

Recently , I'm researching that how to generate create view with nested objects(list of objects) in MVC 5 ?

My objects are like that:

 public class MrSurvey
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(128)]
    public string UserId { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(75)]
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
    public List<MrSurveyQuestion> Questions { get; set; }
}

public class MrSurveyQuestion
{      
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    public Guid SurveyId { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(250)]
    public string QuestionName { get; set; }
    public bool IsMultipleChoice { get; set; }
    public bool IsSelectOneMoreThan { get; set; }
    public List<MrSurveyQption> Options { get; set; }

}
public class MrSurveyQption
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    public Guid QuestionId { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(140)]
    public string OptionName { get; set; }
}

I try to generate create view with my nested objects for days. But I didn't do it. Does anyone suggest that how to create view with these objects? or Are there any examples like that?

Thank you for your kind interest.

typically the nested objects would be partials views that you are rendering. — MPavlak, Jul 01 '16 at 15:50
however, it is unclear exactly what you're trying to do.... maybe post your view to show us what you've tried?? — Collateral.dmg, Jul 01 '16 at 16:03

You can create a new class which contains all the classes that you want to have on the view. Then use it to pass through the view.

public class YourNewClass{
    public MrSurvey mrSurvey {get;set;}
    public MrSurveyQuestion mrSurveyQuestion {get;set;}
    public MrSurveyQption mrSurveyQption {get;set;} }

You can do like @MPavlak comment: use partial view for each of your objects by using @Html.Action to get partial views with different objects.

On your view

    @Html.Action("mrsurvey_method")
    @Html.Action("mrsurveyquestion_method")
    @Html.Action("mrsurveyqption_method")

On the controller

    public ActionResult mrsurvey_method(){
        //do anything you want
        return PartialView("_partialview1", new MrSurvey());
    }
    public ActionResult mrsurvey_method(){
        //do anything you want
        return PartialView("_partialview2", new MrSurveyQuestion());
    }
    public ActionResult mrsurvey_method(){
        //do anything you want
        return PartialView("_partialview3", new MrSurveyQption());
    }
