Putting model data in Viewbag

Putting Model in viewbag is the easiest way to flow A model data controller to a view. Let see a case, Suppose You’re editing a student record, On the editing page, you need to fill student details in related textbox and different type of dropdown list, which data is coming from database i.e. course , session, etc.

Normally we bind one model control to a view at a time. But if you are putting the model in a viewbag then you can transfer any number of models to a view. The following code will show you, Getting course record from the controller and filling it in the drop-down list at the view 

Model

public class CourseModel

    {

        public string ID { get; set; }

        public string CourseName { get; set; }

        public string Description { get; set; }

    }

Controller

public ActionResult StudentEdit(string id)

        {

            List<CourseModel> CourseData = new List<CourseModel>();

            CourseData = ob2.GetCourseAll();

            ViewBag.Course = CourseData;

            return View();

        }

View

<select id="ddlCourse" class="form-control" >

    <option value="">Select Course</option>

    @{

        var data = ViewBag.Course;

    }

    @foreach (var item in data)

    {

        <option value="@item.ID">@item.CourseName</option>

    }

</select>
