I want to have 2 models in one view. The page contains both LoginViewModel and RegisterViewModel.

e.g.

public class LoginViewModel
{
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
}

public class RegisterViewModel
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
}

Do I need to make another ViewModel which holds these 2 ViewModels?

public BigViewModel
{
    public LoginViewModel LoginViewModel{get; set;}
    public RegisterViewModel RegisterViewModel {get; set;}
}

I need the validation attributes to be brought forward to the view. This is why I need the ViewModels.

Isn’t there another way such as (without the BigViewModel):

 @model ViewModel.RegisterViewModel
 @using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Auth", FormMethod.Post))
 {
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email)
        @Html.PasswordFor(model => model.Password)
 }

 @model ViewModel.LoginViewModel
 @using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Auth", FormMethod.Post))
 {
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email)
        @Html.PasswordFor(model => model.Password)
 }
