How to display list of names present in viewdata in asp.net

I have a list of names in viewdata, but am not able to display it in view page

<body>

    <%= ViewData["names"].ToString() %>

Thanks

Solution

  • If it's a list of strings, you have to iterate through it like so (I've put a div there just to illustrate):

    <% foreach (var name in (List<String>)ViewData["names"]) { %>
   <div><%= name %></div>
<% } %>

    You also must make sure that ViewData["names"] is not null.
