ASP.net return View with data variables

Question

public ActionResult Index()
{
   return View("test", new {a = 1, b = 2});
}

and my view:

<%= a; %>

I get an error:

'a' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

You are quite near the solution! just add model to access its property as bellow

  //in your view      
  <%= Model.a %>

But I would like to advice to avoid anonymous type in your controller return View(new{a=foo,b=bar}) is not a good idea. Please follow these steps

• Create a model

   namespace ModelCentral{ public class AbModel { public int a{get;set;}; public int b{get;set;}; } } 

• then edit your controller action as this

   public ActionResult Index() { var model = new AbModel() {a = 1, b = 2}; return View("test",model); } 

• finally in your view

    <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<ModelCentral.AbModel>" %> <%= Model.a%>
