Alternative to ViewBag.Title in ASP.NET MVC 3

Question

By default the new project template for ASP.NET MVC 3 adds the following to the default layout (masterpage in razor):

<         


        

Answer 1

I don't think there is any thing bad with default title handling feature that ships with asp.net MVC 3, its okay to do.

I personally do this(below written) to handle title, I am not endorsing the below code or saying that its better than default functionality, its just a preference.

Master

View

@section Title
{
    write title
}

One thing i could suggest to improve default functionality

@{
    string pageTitle = @ViewBag.Title ?? "Title Not Set";
}

So whenever you forget to add it in viewbag, the page will display title= Title Not Set

Creating a base class then making all your controllers inherit from that base-class can also be done. But I think its taking so much of pain for title.
