ViewBag is used in ASP.NET MVC to pass data from the controller to View . It is a dynamic object and is a member of the Controller class.
Any dynamic property with its value can be assigned and later be used to retrieve it in the View.
Below is a sample code snippet on the usage of the ViewBag to store the ApplicationTitle and later retrieve it in the View
Controller
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace MvcApplication1.Controllers
{
public class EmployeeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.ApplicationTitle = "AbundantCode App";
return View();
}
}
}View
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>@ViewBag.ApplicationTitle</h2>
@Html.Label("AbundantCode.com - a Programming Directory");
