Is there any way to create and use dynamic properties for ViewBag, based on strings?
Something like
ViewBag.CreateProperty("MyProperty");
ViewBag.Property("MyProperty") = "Myvalue";
Thank you

I just found out that ViewData can be used to create such properties for ViewBag
So to create property CityErrorMessage I have to use
ViewData.Add("CityErrorMessage", MyErrorMessage)
and then in the view I can use
@ViewBag.CityErrorMessage
EDIT:
I created the ViewBag's properties dynamically, because I received the name of field with validation error in a list
So the code actually is
foreach (ValidationError err in ValidationErrors)
{
ViewData.Add(
string.format("{0}ErrorMsg", err.PropertyName),
err.ValidationErrorMessage);
}
Update: I belatedly realised that this code comes from a Nancy project and Nancy implements it's own ViewBag so this code does not work with .Net MVC3 and does not answer the question. However, it might be argued that the question could be solved by switching to Nancy.
I found ViewBag has an Add
method so you can do this:
foreach(var row in model)
{
ViewBag.Add(row.resourceName, row.content);
}
