Introduction
This article describes ViewBag in MVC.
A ViewBag is used to share values from the controller to the view. A ViewBag has no predefined properties, but we can define a desired property by adding them to the property.
Step 1
Click on the "Start" Button -> Expand "Visual Studio 2013" -> Click on "Visual Studio 2013".
Go to "File" Menu -> Expand "New" -> Click on "Project".
Select "Visual C#" under "Web" -> Select "ASP.NET Web Application" in the center.
Name the project -> select your desired location.
Select "Empty" template -> Check "MVC" from "Add folders and core references for:".
Right-click on "Controllers" and select "Add -> Controller".
Step 2
Select "MVC 5 Controller - Empty" to add an empty controller.
Click on the "Add" button.
Step 3
Name the controller.
Step 4
Here we create a "name" property for the ViewBag and set the value of the current datetime.
Step 5
Now we need to create a view.
Right-click on "Index" and select "Add View".
Step 6
Name the view and select "Empty (without model)" as the template. Click on the "Add" button.

Refer to the following code snippet to get the value from the ViewBag.
