Is there a way to access a .NET MVC ViewBag's properties using a string key?

Question

I have a value that I've put in the ViewBag:

ViewBag.SomeKey = value;

In my view I have the key stored as a String.

String theKey = "SomeKey";

Is there a way to access my value from the Viewbag using this String version of the key?

Answer 1

Use ViewData[theKey]. Both ViewData and ViewBag use the same underlying storage.
