What is the difference between ViewData and ViewBag?


1:-ViewData
  • ViewData is a dictionary of objects that is derived from ViewDataDictionary class and accessible using strings as keys.
  •  ViewData requires typecasting for complex data type and check for null values to avoid error

Example:-

public ActionResult Index()
{
       ViewData["Name"] = "Dhiren Web developer";
      return View();
}

2:-ViewBag
  • ViewBag is a dynamic property that takes advantage of the new dynamic features in C# 4.0.
  •  ViewBag doesn’t require typecasting for complex data type.

Example:-

  public ActionResult Index()
  {
     ViewBag.Name = "Dhiren Web developer";
     return View();
   }

Calling in View
@ViewBag.Name

@ViewData["Name"]

If I then set it to an integer, it will work fine. bar = 5; . I can then even later set the same variable to a string, bar = "Hello World!"; and it will work fine! Hence the term dynamic. Before we start typescript lets show some ECMAScript 6 Features that help in typescript. 1.          ...
