asp.net mvc - Convert object list to another object list even they are not same type -

i want separate between viewmodel , mode(data access object or data members). please see below.

major dao

public class major         public majorid integer        public majorname string  end class 

major vm

public class majorvm         public major major  end class 

but major view model take reference major. in case, convert major object majorvm object list. please see below.

dim majorlist list(of major) = getallmajorlist() dim majorvmlist list(of majorvm)  majorvmlist = majorlist 

how can solve this? thanks.

try this.

dim majorvmlist new list(of majorvm)  each item major in majorlist    dim m new major  major.majorid = item.majorid  major.majorname = item.majorname   majorvmlist.add(major)   next
