In [ASP.NET Core](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12946/get-started-with-asp-dot-net-core-mvc-and-visual-studio), passing [data](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13050/salesforce-aiming-to-dominate-predictive-analytics-with-data-science) from a controller to a [Razor view](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155820/how-to-generate-textbox-control-using-htmlhelper-in-razor-view) is a fundamental part of rendering dynamic content. You can pass data to a view from a controller in several ways, including using ViewBag, ViewData, or a strongly typed model. Here's how to do it using each method:

## 1. Using a Strongly Typed Model:

This is the recommended and most common way to pass data to a Razor view. It provides compile-time type checking and IntelliSense support for your views.

## 2. Using ViewBag:

ViewBag is a dynamic property that allows you to pass data to a view, but it lacks compile-time type checking.

## 3. Using ViewData:

ViewData is similar to ViewBag but requires explicit casting to access the data.

## 4. Using TempData (for Redirects):

TempData is used to store data temporarily for a single HTTP request, typically between actions during a redirect.

Passing data from a controller to a Razor view allows you to dynamically generate content based on the context and requirements of your application. Using a strongly typed model is the recommended approach for maintaining type safety and improving code maintainability. However, ViewBag and ViewData are useful for simpler scenarios or when working with dynamic data.
