Question

In previous releases there were 3 ways to pass data from controller to view AFAIK (shown below).

I want to use method (2) with MVC Beta 1, but I can’t find the renderView method. So what’s the new syntax (if it’s still possible)? Thanks in advance.

Ben.

Syntax #1: Old-school dictionary

ViewData['Name'] = 'Moo-moo'; ViewData['Age'] = 6; ViewData['HasFunnyFace'] = true; RenderView('ShowCat'); 

Syntax #2: Explicitly-typed ViewData object

RenderView('ShowCat', new ShowCatViewData {     Name = 'Moo-moo',     Age = 6,     HasFunnyFace = true }); 

Syntax #3: Anonymously-typed object

RenderView('ShowCat', new {      Name = 'Moo-moo',      Age = 6,      HasFunnyFace = true  }); 

Answer 1

In beta 1, use the View method:

return View ('ShowCat', <TYPED_DATA_SET_OR_OTHER_MODEL>); 

The View method has replaced the RenderView method.
