[Explain me](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34220/can-anyone-explain-me-about-off-page-activity) what is [Viewbag](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155742/what-is-similarities-and-differentiate-between-viewdata-and-viewbag) in [MVC](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155803/define-cache-profile-in-mvc) with example. ## Replies ### Reply by Nishi Tiwari **ViewBag** is defined as to pass data from Controller Action to view to render the data that is being passed. Now we can pass data between **[Controller Action and View](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155740/define-viewdata-in-mvc)** either by using **ViewBag or ViewData.** **ViewBag:** It is type of Dynamic object, which means we can add new fields to viewbag dynamically and access these fields in the View. We need to initialize the object of viewbag at the time of creating new fields. e.g: 1. Creating ViewBag: ViewBag.FirstName="John"; 2. Accessing View: @ViewBag.FirstName. ## Example In this example, we are implementing ViewBag property. ## Controller ``` using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Web.Mvc; namespace ViewBagExample.Controllers { public class ViewBagController : Controller { // GET: ViewBag public ActionResult Index() { List Courses = new List(); Courses.Add("J2SE"); Courses.Add("J2EE"); Courses.Add("Spring"); Courses.Add("Hibernates"); ViewBag.Courses = Courses; return View(); } } } ``` ## View ``` Index
