Dynamic Anonymous type in Razor causes RuntimeBinderException

Question

I\'m getting the following error:

\'object\' does not contain a definition for \'RatingName\'

When you look at the anonymous dyn

Answer 1

Based on the accepted answer, I have overridden in the controller to make it work in general and behind the scenes.

Here is the code:

protected override void OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext filterContext)
{
    base.OnResultExecuting(filterContext);

    //This is needed to allow the anonymous type as they are intenal to the assembly, while razor compiles .cshtml files into a seperate assembly
    if (ViewData != null && ViewData.Model != null && ViewData.Model.GetType().IsNotPublic)
    {
       try
       {
          IDictionary expando = new ExpandoObject();
          (new RouteValueDictionary(ViewData.Model)).ToList().ForEach(item => expando.Add(item));
          ViewData.Model = expando;
       }
       catch
       {
           throw new Exception("The model provided is not 'public' and therefore not avaialable to the view, and there was no way of handing it over");
       }
    }
}

Now you can just pass an anonymous object as the model, and it will work as expected.
