Remarks

The ViewData property of a controller exposes an instance of the ViewDataDictionary class. To pass data to a view, you first add it to the controller's ViewData property in the action method that renders the view, as shown in the following example:

ViewData["color"] = "Red";

ViewData("color") = "Red"

When the view is rendered, the view data is copied to the ViewData property of the view. In the view markup, you can then access the data as shown in the following example:

<%= ViewData["color"] %>

<%= ViewData("color") %>

Similarly, you can pass data to the controller by adding the data to the ViewData property of the view, as shown in the following example:

<% ViewData["firstName"] = firstName %>

<% ViewData("firstName") = firstName %>

When the view is posted, its view data is sent to the controller, and you can then access the data in your action method as in the following example:

String firstName = ViewData["firstName"];

Dim firstName As String = ViewData("firstName")

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
