In ASP.NET MVC it’s possible to choice between having a typed view were you define in the codebehind what kind of data the view can should expect. But it’s also possible to not define this and just pass any kind of data to view in a ViewData container.
What would the best model here or should I mix depending on what kind of data we’re talking about (maybe just make sure to have data that’s critical to the functionality of the view typed and other data not typed?)? I don’t really understand why there is a option here …
I would recommend always using the strongly typed ViewData… that way you have compile time checking, intellisense, you don’t have to do casting in your view, and the ability to refactor your code much easier.
