Is it possible to create classes within a template? Something like...

        public MyClass() {
            Three = new List&l         


        

Answer 1

I would suggest using a specific ViewModel class, which could have a dynamic property (ExpandoObject) allowing you to populate it with any custom data structure as needed while still communicating strongly typed for whatever else your view might need.

This also keeps your view models separate from the views themselves, which is good practice (html and code don't mix too well where readability is a concern).
