viewbag

I started up a Default MVC 4 project using the ASPX engine (not Razor), and everything works fine. I can use <% Model.Name %> and <% Model.Rating %> for book ratings (instead of the Restaurant Review that is up on the asp.net/mvc tutorials site). However, my code errors on the <% ViewBag.Message %> ...so for some reason, when inheriting from the "BookReviewer" Class within the BookReview model, I can view the Model information but not the Viewbag ? Am I missing something? Code below. [Controller] HomeController.cs: public class HomeController : Controller { var model = new BookReview() { Name

There seems to be an issue with the ViewBag dynamic properties. Lets say I have: @{ ViewBag.Title = @Model.CourseName; } And then in a form on the page I have: @Html.TextBox("Title", null, new {style="width:400px;"}) Where Title is the name of a field in a database table. When the page first opens, text box with an id of "Title" takes the value of the ViewBag.Title dynamic property. I am a bit hazy on the exact details of Model Binding, but this does seem to be a bug, or if not, if it is something that occurs naturally as a result of the binding process, then it would be nice to be warned of

So I have a ViewBag.Something and this data is randomly generated. In my view, I set this to a label like so @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Something, (string)ViewBag.Something) . This works out well but when I submit the form there could be errors and if there are errors, I need this label to remain the same, I don't want dynamic/random data anymore so I wouldn't call the controller method that generated this ViewBag. Is there a way to retain this value without having some private variable in my controller? Some nice way that MVC/Razor does it? Option 1: Pass the value of "ViewBag.Something" to the

I have been writing a cms with MVC being used as the main engine for generating the pages. I am going well, but wanted the ability to create a unique razor template per site and possibly per view if I need to. My rules are that each project has to have a unique code which is linked with a url. Assets for each project site are stored in a way that the location relates to the project. So an assets associated with project C0001 would be stored in assets\C0001\ and for C0002: assets\C0002\ and so on. What I wanted to do, to keep things tidy, was to have the razor templates associated with a

How do you deal with avoiding ViewBag due to its risk of error with being dynamic but also avoid having to populate a new ViewModel and pass it back to the view each time. For instance, I don't want to necessarily change the follow to expose common data normally stuffed in ViewBag. [HttpGet] void Index() { return View(); } to [HttpGet] void Index() { var messages = new MessageCollection(); messages.AddError("Uh oh!"); return View(messages); } Where in the pipeline would I add a property like ViewBag that is custom and strongly typed but have it exposed elegantly in the Controller and also the

I'm using razor syntax and I want to check to see if certain ViewBag values are set before I spit out the html. If a value is set then I want to write it out. If not I want it to do nothing. @if (ViewBag.UserExists != null) { Response.Write(String.Format("<h3>{0}</h3>", ViewBag.UserExists)); } This doesn't appear to be working correctly. The code shows up on top of another h2 I have above the code above. I have two register controller methods. One is the get and the other accepts the post. If the user exists I am setting a ViewBag item that needs to be displayed to the user. Thanks Don't use
