如何在 ASP.NET MVC 中使用 ViewBag

The ViewBag is an System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject as suggested. The properties in the ViewBag are essentially KeyValue pairs, where you access the value by the key. In this sense these are equivalent:

ViewBag.Foo = "Bar";
ViewBag["Foo"] = "Bar";

It's a dynamic object, meaning you can add properties to it in the controller, and read them later in the view, because you are essentially creating the object as you do, a feature of the dynamic type. See this MSDN article on dynamics. See this article on it's usage in relation to MVC.

If you wanted to use this for web forms, add a dynamic property to a base page class like so:

public class BasePage : Page
{


public dynamic ViewBagProperty
{
get;
set;
}
}

Have all of your pages inherit from this. You should be able to, in your ASP.NET markup, do:

<%= ViewBagProperty.X %>

That should work. If not, there are ways to work around it.

ViewBag is of type dynamic. More, you cannot do ViewBag["Foo"]. You will get exception - Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'System.Dynamic.DynamicObject'.

Internal implementation of ViewBag actually stores Foo into ViewData["Foo"] (type of ViewDataDictionary), so those 2 are interchangeable. ViewData["Foo"] and ViewBag.Foo.

And scope. ViewBag and ViewData are ment to pass data between Controller's Actions and View it renders.

ViewBag is of type dynamic but, is internally an System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject()

It is declared like this:

dynamic ViewBag = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();

which is why you can do :

ViewBag.Foo = "Bar";

A Sample Expander Object Code:

public class ExpanderObject : DynamicObject, IDynamicMetaObjectProvider
{
public Dictionary<string, object> objectDictionary;


public ExpanderObject()
{
objectDictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();
}
public override bool TryGetMember(GetMemberBinder binder, out object result)
{
object val;
if (objectDictionary.TryGetValue(binder.Name, out val))
{
result = val;
return true;
}
result = null;
return false;
}


public override bool TrySetMember(SetMemberBinder binder, object value)
{
try
{
objectDictionary[binder.Name] = value;
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return false;
}
}
}

ViewBag is used to pass data from Controller Action to view to render the data that being passed. Now you can pass data using between Controller Action and View either by using ViewBag or ViewData. ViewBag: It is type of Dynamic object, that means you can add new fields to viewbag dynamically and access these fields in the View. You need to initialize the object of viewbag at the time of creating new fields.

e.g: 1. Creating ViewBag: ViewBag.FirstName="John";

2. Accessing View: @ViewBag.FirstName.

public dynamic ViewBag
{
get
{
if (_viewBag == null)
{
_viewBag = new DynamicViewData(() => ViewData);
}


return _viewBag;
}
}

ViewBag is a dynamic type that allow you to dynamically set or get values and allow you to add any number of additional fields without a strongly-typed class They allow you to pass data from controller to view. In controller......

public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.victor = "My name is Victor";
return View();
}

In view

@foreach(string a in ViewBag.victor)
{
.........
}

What I have learnt is that both should have the save dynamic name property ie ViewBag.victor
