Is there any way to set type of ViewBag item?

Question

Like in topic. It is possible to do it? Or make something to use ViewBag items in place where we need no dynamic item?

Answer 1

The best way is to create View model and use that model in your View rather then ViewBag.

Answer 2

It is probably not preferable, since you probably should use a model in that case, but in the view, you can always cast the viewbag property into a type, if you need it to be an int for instance,

int number = (int)ViewBag.MyNumber;

Answer 3

If you can't use a dynamic item, just declare a variable with the ViewBag's "static" type :

@IList<MyType> mylist= ViewBag.ListOfItemsOfMyType;

and use mylist
