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

You can do it using the mechanism NothingsImpossible descibed, but withou implementing your own wrapper using ExpandoObject. Here is an Example:

var items = _repository.GetItems()
    .Select(og => {
        dynamic eo = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();
        eo.Id = item.Id;
        eo.FriendlyName = og.FriendlyName;
        eo.Selected = itemIds.Contains(item.Id);
        return eo;
    })
    .ToArray();
ViewBag.Items = items;
