How many to Send Data From Controller to View, ASP.NET MVC Objects, ViewData, ViewBag and TempData

 ASP.NET MVC  Provide Three Different Types of Objects to Store data and send it into View.



1)  ViewData:-   

It is used to store data using key=>value pair, the key is used to provide identity, and data is used to store value. default value of ViewData is 0, if we call ViewData under different ActionMethod then it does not provide an error.

ViewData["Key"]=value
ViewData["rno"] = 1001 // Object

It Stores data in an Object pattern and its scope will be the same controller to view (same request).

After Redirection Value will be null of ViewData Object.


2)  ViewBag:-   

It is used to store data in an Object pattern, Its scope will be the same controller to the same view similar to ViewData but it is used to manage data type of assigned data implicit.
 default value of ViewBag is null, if we call ViewBag under different ActionMethod then it provides an error.


Syntax:-

ViewBag.key = value

ViewBag.a=10  //Int   
 
After Redirection Value will be null of ViewBag Object. ViewBag is the modification of ViewData.


3) TempData:-   

It is used to store data in an Object pattern, Its scope will be the same controller to a different view means it will work on cross request, After Redirection, we can store data under TempData Object.


TempData["key"]=value   

TempData["a"]=100;  //Object pattern

TempData does not manage data type, it stores all data in Object patterns.

TempData.keep()  is used to store data permanently

TempData.Remove("key") is used to remove data 

Practical Implementation of ViewBag, ViewData, and TempData:-


Create a Controller with the Get method




using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System. Linq;
using System. Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace BasicMVCExample.Controllers
{
    public class ObjectDataController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /ObjectData/

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewData["key1"] = 10;
            ViewBag.key = 111;
            TempData["key"] = 23;
           // return View();
            return RedirectToAction("Method2");
        }

        public ActionResult Method2() {
            TempData.Keep();
           // TempData.Remove("key");

            return View();
     
        }

    }
}



Create View for method2.cshtml

@{
    Layout = null;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Method2</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
       @ViewData["key1"] 
       @ViewBag.key
       @TempData["key"]
    </div>
</body>
</html>



public class TestObjectController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /TestObject/

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewBag.a = 10;
            ViewData["rno"] = 1001;
            TempData["b"] = 101;
            TempData.Keep();
           
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult Second()
        {
           // TempData.Remove("b");
            return View();
        }
    }


index.html:-

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>

@{
    int b = ViewBag.a + 1;
}
value of b = @b

@{
    
    int c = int.Parse(ViewData["rno"].ToString()) + 1;
}
value of c = @c
@{
    int d = int.Parse(TempData["b"].ToString()) + 1;
    
}

value of d = @d

public class TestObjectController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /TestObject/

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewBag.a = 10;
            ViewData["rno"] = 1001;
            TempData["b"] = 101;
            TempData.Keep();
            return RedirectToAction("Second");
           
        }
        public ActionResult Second()
        {
           // TempData.Remove("b");
            return View();
        }
    }


second.cshtml:-


<h2>Index</h2>

@{
    //int b = ViewBag.a + 1;
}

@{
    
   // int c = int.Parse(ViewData["rno"].ToString()) + 1;
}

@{
    int d = int.Parse(TempData["b"].ToString()) + 1;
    
}

value of d = @d

  DSA in C# |  Data Structure and Algorithm using C#: Lecture 1: Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms (1 Hour) 1.1 What are Data Structures? Data Structures are ways to store and organize data so it can be used efficiently. Think of data structures as containers that hold data in a specific format. Types of Data Structures: Primitive Data Structures : These are basic structures built into the language. Example: int , float , char , bool in C#. Example : csharp int age = 25;  // 'age' stores an integer value. bool isStudent = true;  // 'isStudent' stores a boolean value. Non-Primitive Data Structures : These are more complex and are built using primitive types. They are divided into: Linear : Arrays, Lists, Queues, Stacks (data is arranged in a sequence). Non-Linear : Trees, Graphs (data is connected in more complex ways). Example : // Array is a simple linear data structure int[] number...

JSP Page design using Internal CSS

  JSP is used to design the user interface of an application, CSS is used to provide set of properties. Jsp provide proper page template to create user interface of dynamic web application. We can write CSS using three different ways 1)  inline CSS:-   we will write CSS tag under HTML elements <div style="width:200px; height:100px; background-color:green;"></div> 2)  Internal CSS:-  we will write CSS under <style> block. <style type="text/css"> #abc { width:200px;  height:100px;  background-color:green; } </style> <div id="abc"></div> 3) External CSS:-  we will write CSS to create a separate file and link it into HTML Web pages. create a separate file and named it style.css #abc { width:200px;  height:100px;  background-color:green; } go into Jsp page and link style.css <link href="style.css"  type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"   /> <div id="abc"> </div> Exam...
