I am new to MVC and am using MVC 3 and entity framework 4.1.

I have the following:

public ViewResult Index(string id)
{

return View(db.Documents.Where(r => r.DocNum == id).ToList());               

}

This gives me a list of all records that contain the Document DocNum. The Document table also has a field TITLE. I want to place that TITLE into a ViewBag to use at the top of the returned View. How do I get Document.Title into a ViewBag?

    I think you’re looking for:

    var document = db.Documents.Where(r => r.DocNum == id).ToList().FirstOrDefault();
if (document != null)
{
    return View(document.Title);
}
return View("No Document Matched");

    Update

    If you are returning the document to the view via:

    return View(db.Documents.Where(r => r.DocNum == id).ToList())

    Then in the view you can simply either (Assuming Razor):

    @{
string docTitle = "No Document Machted";
var document = db.Documents.Where(r => r.DocNum == id).ToList().FirstOrDefault();
if (document != null)
{
    docTitle = document.Title;
}

<html><head><title>@docTitle</title>...

    Or if you are using a Razor Layout then..

    [View.cshtml]
@{
ViewBag.Title = "No Document Machted";
var document = db.Documents.Where(r => r.DocNum == id).ToList().FirstOrDefault();
if (document != null)
{
    ViewBag.Title = document.Title;
}

[Layout.cshtml]
<html><head><title>@ViewBag.Title</title>...
