Storing an Anonymous Object in ViewBag

Question

This is probably a silly question, but I am trying to stuff an anonymous object in ViewBag like so:

ViewBag.Stuff = new { Name = \"Test\", Emai         


        

Answer 1

we can lovely accomplish that using Json

Controller : object -> json string , View : Json string -> object

The scenerio is simply the controller class serialize the C# object into json string then later the view receives this string and deserializes it to an object , like so :

in Controller :

using Newtonsoft.Json;
ViewBag.Stuff = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { Name = "Test", Email = "user@domain.com" });

in View :

@using Newtonsoft.Json
@JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(ViewBag.Stuff).Name

Note : this was tested in Asp.Net Core 2.2 , Check that link to install Newtonsoft.Json
