MVC: pass parameter to view?

MVC: pass parameter to view?

In ASP.NET MVC, you can pass parameters to a view using a model or ViewBag. Here's how you can do it:

  • Using a Model:

Step 1: Create a model class that represents the data you want to pass to the view.

public class MyModel { public string Parameter1 { get; set; } public int Parameter2 { get; set; } }

Step 2: In your controller action method, create an instance of the model, set its properties, and pass it to the view.

public class MyController : Controller { public ActionResult MyView() { MyModel model = new MyModel { Parameter1 = "Hello", Parameter2 = 42 }; return View(model); } }

Step 3: In the view (Razor view), declare the model type at the top, and you can access the model properties using the Model property.

@model YourNamespace.MyModel <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My View</title> </head> <body> <p>Parameter 1: @Model.Parameter1</p> <p>Parameter 2: @Model.Parameter2</p> </body> </html>
  • Using ViewBag:

Step 1: In your controller action method, set the values in the ViewBag dictionary.

public class MyController : Controller { public ActionResult MyView() { ViewBag.Parameter1 = "Hello"; ViewBag.Parameter2 = 42; return View(); } }

Step 2: In the view (Razor view), you can access the values using the ViewBag property.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My View</title> </head> <body> <p>Parameter 1: @ViewBag.Parameter1</p> <p>Parameter 2: @ViewBag.Parameter2</p> </body> </html>

Using a model is generally considered a better approach as it provides strong typing and improves code clarity. However, ViewBag can be used for simple scenarios when you want to pass a few variables without creating a separate model class.

Choose the approach that fits your requirements and coding style best.
