ViewBag

ViewData is a dictionary of objects that are stored and retrieved
using strings as keys.

stored value in ViewData
String n = ViewData[“Key”]; // Retrieve Data

ViewBag uses the dynamic feature that was introduced in to c# 4. It
allows an object to have properties dynamically add to it.

// here name is the dynamic property of //ViewBag object

Both ViewData ans ViewBag are used to pass
data from a controller to a View.

{
ViewBag.country = new List<string>()
{

"INDIA",
"UK"
};
return View();
}
View
<ul>
@foreach (string country in ViewBag .coun)
{

are accessing dynamic property of coun , which is not existing in Controller
class. But in case Both ViewData & ViewBag does not provide
compile time error checking
