Collection of nested MVC models

Question

I am new to MVC and I am trying to display information from a nested collection of models on a page.

so my model is as follows:

public partial class Parent
{
    public Parent()
    {
        this.Childs = new HashSet<Child>();
     }

    public int ParentID { get; set; } 
     public string Name { get; set; } 

    public virtual ICollection<Child> Childs { get; set; }
 }

To display the information in the Parent view, I used:

@foreach (Child c in Model.Childs)
{
    @c.Name 
}

The above works, but I would like to use a different view for the children, so I tried the following:

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Childs)

and defined the following form:

@model WebApplication1.Models.Child

<div>
      @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Name)
</div>

This does not work, and I get the System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies view instead of the list of child names. I read that this is because MVC5 does not know which kind to use. I tried to indicate the view in Drive as @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Childs, "ViewName1.cshtml"), but that did not help.

In addition to the above, I would like to use something similar for @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Childs).
