    var Users = (Documentation.Models.User)ViewBag.Users;
}

<table>
@foreach (var item in Users) {
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(item.username)
        </td>
    </tr>
}
</table>

but i get no answer , i know my code is not right

i got this error

 foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'Documentation.Models.User' because 'Documentation.Models.User' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

Looks like there are two major problems with your code. Like @Peri mentioned, you're not casting to a container of Users. Also I think `@Html.DisplayFor(item.username)` will throw an error since you're not using an expression like `item => item.username` so I suggest you use `@Html.Display(item.username)` instead =] — hae, Nov 07 '13 at 18:33
i think problem is in `@foreach (var item in Users)` or in `var Users = (Documentation.Models.User)ViewBag.Users;` — Pnsadeghy, Nov 07 '13 at 18:37

you should cast viewbag.model to List of User. Not to User.

@{
    var Users = (List<User>)ViewBag.Users;
}
