ASP.Net MVC: Calling a method from a view

Question

In my MVC app the controller gets the data (model) from an external API (so there is no model class being used) and passes that to the view. The data (model) has a container

Answer 1

This is how you call an instance method on the Controller:

@{
  ((HomeController)this.ViewContext.Controller).Method1();
}

This is how you call a static method in any class

@{
    SomeClass.Method();
}

This will work assuming the method is public and visible to the view.
