How to check the value passed into the dictionary

Question

The details are being fetched in the controller correctly but value passed in the view is incorrect. Therefore I am getting the following error:

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Int64', but this >dictionary requires a model item of type >'estatebranch.ViewModels.RentRegisterViewModel'

My controller has following action method

public ActionResult RentRegister(int propertyId)
{
    try
    {       
        using (estatebranchEntities db = new estatebranchEntities())
        {
            RentRegisterViewModel objRentRegister = new RentRegisterViewModel();
            objRentRegister.balance = db.PropertyDetails.Where(m => m.propertyid == propertyId).Select(m => m.balance).SingleOrDefault();
            return View(objRentRegister.balance);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        throw;
    }
}

My View model is as follow:

public class RentRegisterViewModel
{
    public int recordid { get; set; }
    public int propertyid { get; set; }
    public int month { get; set; }
    public int year { get; set; }
    public long amountpaid { get; set; }
    public System.DateTime paymentdate { get; set; }
    public long interest { get; set; }
    public Nullable<long> balance { get; set; }
    public virtual PropertyDetail PropertyDetail { get; set; }
}

There is no point to catching an exception if you're simply going to rethrow it. — , Jun 20 '19 at 13:20
If the view expects to get a model why are you giving it just the `balance`? — Sami Kuhmonen, Jun 20 '19 at 13:21
Presumably you meant `return View(objRentRegister)` rather than `return View(objRentRegister.balance)`. — Jeroen Mostert, Jun 20 '19 at 13:22

try changing this line:

return View(objRentRegister);

Thanks. It worked. Is it possible that I pass the `balance` in the viewbag – Amit Kaushal Jun 20 '19 at 13:30
your balance is in "Model.balance" in your view – MorenajeRD Jun 20 '19 at 13:39
The view model fills the default values in other fields also. How can I avoid it? – Amit Kaushal Jun 20 '19 at 13:43
