Html.Display does not work with ViewBag

Html.Display does not work with ViewBag.

@Html.Display("disp", (string)@ViewBag.disp)

I must use this viewbag because it can be modified by a search button selecting another disp.

@Html.TextBox("disp", (string)@ViewBag.disp)

If I use TextBox instead of Display it works, but I want to be read-only. How it is possible?

Solution

  • Because there's no overload of Display which takes a value as argument.

    So.

    You can simply do

    @ViewBag.disp

    or (if it contains HTMl)

    @Html.Raw(ViewBag.disp)

    or if you want a TextBox

    @Html.TextBox("disp", (string)@ViewBag.disp, new{@readonly = true})
