viewbag

OK, quite new to ASP.Net MVC, so I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but how do I go about showing the values of a ViewBag as HTML. For Example, if ViewBag.SomeMessage contains the following text: <h3>Test</h3><p>Test</p><p>Test</p><p>Test</p><p>Test</p><p>TEST</p> How would I go about actually having the page render that as normal HTML? Or is there a much easier way of achieving this that I'm totally missing? Cheers! Everyone is correct in the use of @Html.Raw() but I want to point out to be careful with this, as it can make your site susceptible to XSS vulnerabilities. I would combine the

I have a list of users which I pass from my controller to my view using the view bag. Now I need to be able to pass the same list to the javascript on the page. I could reconstruct the list using a foreach loop: @foreach (var item in ViewBag.userList) //Gets list of users passed from controller and adds markers to the map { var userLat = item.LastLatitude; var userLon = item.LastLongitude; var _userId = item.Id; <script>array.push({"userId":"'@_userId'","userLat":"'@userLat'","userLon":"'@userLon'"});</script> } However this seems like a messy approach and required a lot of reworking if a

I know this seems pretty basic, and it should be, but I cant find out where I am going wrong. (I hve read other articles with similar titles on SO, and other resources on the web but still cant figure it out), so any help would be appreciated. I have a controller and in it I am setting a string variable. Now I don't mind if this takes the form of a property, an ActionResult, or a straight method. I just want a simple string that I can play with in the controller, and return it to the view. Essentially what I am trying to do is list the files in a given folder. So my logic is like this: Find

I guess it's something very straight forward but I can't find out how to do it. In my controller I have: public ViewResult ShowForm() { ViewBag.Title = Resources.ApplicationTitle; ViewBag.LabelStatus = Resources.Status; //Logo ViewBag.Logo =@"C:\Images\Logo.png"; return View("ShowForm"); } And in my view I try this: <div id="drawForm"> <img src="@ViewBag.Logo" alt="Logo" /> </div> However when I run this I just get the "Logo" text. Use Server.MapPath to get the correct path of the image. Suppose your images folder is inside the Content folder that is normally included in an MVC project. You

What if i use too many ViewBag in MVC3 page? What extreme problems will be there if i continue use them heavily. In less words, what are the disadvantages of ViewBag and what is the alternate for it? what is the alternate for it? You should only use ViewModels , It's the recommended approach. Create Strongly typed views. It would make your code cleaner and easy to maintain. What extreme problems will be there? Issue with Viewbags/ViewData is compile time checking. ViewBags are just dictionaries and you won't be aware about any issues until run time and thus it makes your code error-prone. So

Imagine a view bag called ViewBag.Modes this contains the following: Simple Advanced Manual Complete How can I access the viewbag by index like you would in an array? e.g Simple is at index 0 then it would look like this ViewBag.Modes[0] I tried the above but it doesn't work so...How can I replicate this with viewbag or is there a workaround I can use? This does the trick for me: Controller: public ActionResult Index() { var stringArray = new string[3] { "Manual", "Semi", "Auto"}; ViewBag.Collection = stringArray; return View(); } View: @foreach(var str in ViewBag.Collection) { @Html.Raw(str);

I'm trying to make a dropdownlistfor with a selected value but it doesn't work :/ And I search on the web but I don't find the solution :/ For the moment, I'm doing this : In C# : ViewBag.ID_VEH = new SelectList(db.VEHI, "ID_VEH", "COD_VEH", 4); // 4 is an example In my cshtml : @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.ID_VEH, ViewBag.ID_VEH as SelectList) The dropdownlist is well complete but the default value is not selected :/ do you have an idea please ? Dylan Slabbinck What I like to do is add a list of the items to display in the dropdownlist to my model, so I don't have to pass that list
