ViewBag, ViewData and TempData

Question

Could any body explain, when to use

1. TempData
2. ViewBag
3. ViewData

I have a requirement, where I need to set a value in a control

Answer 1

void Keep()

Calling this method with in the current action ensures that all the items in TempData are not removed at the end of the current request.

    @model MyProject.Models.EmpModel;
    @{
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
    ViewBag.Title = "About";
    var tempDataEmployeet = TempData["emp"] as Employee; //need typcasting
    TempData.Keep(); // retains all strings values
    } 

void Keep(string key)

Calling this method with in the current action ensures that specific item in TempData is not removed at the end of the current request.

    @model MyProject.Models.EmpModel;
    @{
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
    ViewBag.Title = "About";
    var tempDataEmployeet = TempData["emp"] as Employee; //need typcasting
    TempData.Keep("emp"); // retains only "emp" string values
    }
