How to handle ViewData type casting in MVC
- by Wondering
Hi All,
I am new to MVC and facing one issue.
I have a xml file and i am retrieving its value using Linq to xml and assigning it to ViewData.
Controller.cs
var res=from x in doc.Descendants("person")
select new
{
Fname=x.Element("fname").Value,
Lname=x.Element("lname").Value
};
ViewData["Persons"]=res;
in View I am trying
<% foreach (var item in ViewData["Persons"])
{ %>
<li> <%= item.Fname %> </li>
<% } %>
but foreach (var item in ViewData["Persons"] is giving type casting error..what should be the exact type csting so that i can retrive values in the format item.Fname.
Thanks.
