Passing Objects into a Partial View with Umbraco 8

So lets just jump straight into it, There are many reason why you may want to pass a Object into your Partial views and I am not going to get into all those right now maybe in an Umbraco 8 Blog article in the future. 

Its really easy to pass property into partial view, you could pass anything you can pass a string a int a content item pretty much anything you like, As a quick example i just passed a staff profile into my partial view.

Here is a code snippet of my partial view.

@inherits UmbracoViewPage<Playground.Core.Models.StaffProfile>
<div class="staff-profile col-md-4">
   <h2 class="yellow">@Model.StaffFirst</h2>
   <p>@Model.StaffLast</p>
   <p>Job Title</p>
</div>

Now here is a snippet of my Home page where i have displayed my Staff Profiles.

 <div class="col-md-12">
      <h3>Featured Staff</h3>
    <div class="row">
       @foreach (StaffProfile staffProfile in Model.FeaturedStaff.OfType<StaffProfile>())
       {
          @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/staffProfile.cshtml", staffProfile)
       }
    </div>
 </div>

Its as simple as that.
