Hi! Is there an equivalent for the ViewData/ TempData object in ASP.NET MVC for ASP.NET? What I wanna do is to keep a Session item only alive for one request. Thanks in advance! Edit: The problem is that I have one view for updating and creating. When the view is in update mode then the session item is filled or it has to be already ...

In my Site.Master file, I have 3 simple ViewData parameters (the only 3 in my entire solution). These ViewData values are critical for every single page in my application. Since these values are used in my Site.Master, I created an abstract SiteController class that overrides the OnActionExecuting method to fill these values for every Ac...
All my controllers are based off of a BaseController, to share properties between them and override OnActionExecuting to set some values based on the route. I'm creating a BaseViewData class to do the same for all my view data. At the moment I'm populating the view data like so (C#): var viewData = new BaseViewData { Name = "someN...
Every controller class in my project derive from a base controller class, aptly named BaseController. All view data is contained in a class named BaseViewData (which in the future could become the base controller for more specific view data classes). I made a BaseViewData property on the BaseController since every controller requires a...

I'm experiencing a rather frustrating problem. My MVC site runs fine for the most part, but randomly throws an error (which shows a friendly error to the user). When I check the logs, this is what I get: System.InvalidOperationException: The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HandleErrorInfo' but this dicti...

I have an ASP.NET MVC application with quite a few drop-down lists and multi-select lists. Essentially, a lot of lists of options. My question is; is it better to pass these lists to the view as part of the Model, or as ViewData? I am currently passing them as ViewData as I don't really need them on the model and they seem potentially ...
Hello, Here's the functionality I'd like to exploit: I've a class myClass and would like to iterate over a collection that contains all the properties of that class. I'd like to send the index of that collection along with the other data so that I can control the each sequence of the iteration. Here's simplified versions of a Action m...
When is it appropriate to store data in HttpContext.Current.Items[...] vs storing data in ViewData[...]? I'm trying to figure out the best practices for storing data in this collection and I'm not sure if it's safe to store user-specific data in HttpContext.Current.Items. One use-case is passing down user credits from a base controller...

Also what’s TModel that’s associated with viewdata? How does one utilize TModel? The viewdata explanation in spark view engine talks about TModel and I c...
