Passing data to view is simple as passing object to method. Take a look at Controller.View Method

protected internal ViewResult View(
    Object model
)

Something like this

//controller

List<MyObject> list = new List<MyObject>();

return View(list);


//view

@model List<MyObject>

// and property Model is type of List<MyObject>

@foreach(var item in Model)
{
    <span>@item.Name</span>
}

Create a model which contains your list and other things you need for the view   For example   public class MyModel       public List lt string gt   MyList   get  set       From the action method put your desired list to the Model   MyList property  like   public ActionResult ArticleList MyModel model        model  MyList   new List lt string gt   item1   item2   item3        return PartialView     Views Home MyView cshtml   model      In your view access the model as follows   model MyModel foreach  var item in Model        lt div gt  item lt  div gt       I think it will help for start
