Lecture Outline

• Controller finding a view


• Passing data from Controller to View
• Models
• Strongly typed views
Controller finding a view
• The URL tells the routing mechanism which controller class to
instantiate and which action method to call and supplies the
required arguments to that method.
• The controller’s method then decides which view to use, and that
view then renders the HTML.
• The Views directory contains a folder for your controller, with the
same name as the controller.
• Within controller folder there’s a view file for each action method,
named the same as the action method.
• This is how views are associated to an action method.
Passing data from Controller to View
• ViewBag: Is a type object and a dynamic property under the
controller base class.
o It is ideally temporary data.
o It doesn’t have typecasting and null checks.
• ViewData: Is a dictionary which can contain key-value pairs where
each key must be string. Requires typecasting as well as null checks.
• Passing an object of the model class to the View.
• TempData: Stays for a subsequent HTTP Request as opposed to other
options (ViewBag and ViewData) those stay only for current request.
o Maintain data between controller actions as well as redirects.
o Typecasting and null checks required in order to avoid errors.
public ActionResult TemporaryEmployee()
{
Employee employee = new Employee
{
EmpID = “121”,
EmpFirstName = “John”,
EmpLastName = “Nguyen”
};
TempData[“Employee”] = employee;
return
RedirectToAction(“PermanentEmployee”);
}
Models
What is Model?

• Business/domain logic

• Model objects, retrieve and store model state in a persistent storage (database).
public class Customer{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Company { get; set; }
public IEnumerable Orders { get; set; }
}
Creating Models
Add a folder named “Models”. In Solution Explorer, right-click the project. Select Add 
New Folder. Name the folder Models.

Right-click the Models folder and select Add  New Item. In Add New Item, select the
Class. Name the class TodoItem and click OK.

publicclassTodoItem
{
public string Key { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool IsComplete { get; set; }
}
Strongly typed views

• The view which binds to a specific type of View Model by passing the model
object as a parameter to the View() method is called as Strongly Typed View.

public class HomeController : Controller


{
public ActionResult Index()
{
EmployeeBusinessLayer employeeBL = new EmployeeBusinessLayer();
Employee employee = employeeBL.GetEmployeeDetails(101);
ViewBag.Header = "Employee Details";

return View(employee);
}
}
Changes in Index.cshtml View:
@model FirstMVCDemo.Models.Employee
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> Advantages of Strongly-typed views:
<head> • Strongly Typed View in ASP.NET MVC
<meta name="viewport" provides compile-time error checking as
content="width=device-width" /> well as intelligence support.
<title>Page Title</title> • If we misspell the property name, then
</head> it comes to know at compile time rather
<body> than at runtime.
<h2>@ViewBag.Header</h2>
<table style="font-family:Arial">
<tr>
<td>Employee ID:</td>
<td>@Model.EmployeeId </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name:</td>
<td>@Model.Name</td>
</tr> </table>
</body>
</html>
