Let me give you an example of Views/Web.config
of ASP.NET MVC5 (I am looking for a good example of MVC4 but it is difficult, and so I asked if it was possible to change the version of framework):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="system.web.webPages.razor" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
<section name="host" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" />
<section name="pages" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorPagesSection, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Optimization" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
</appSettings>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="BlockViewHandler" />
<add name="BlockViewHandler" path="*" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
<system.web>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Thereby, @ViewBag
must be recognised in View.
I installed a Visual Studio 2012 here to generate a Views/Web.config
for you at MVC4:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="system.web.webPages.razor" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
<section name="host" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" />
<section name="pages" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorPagesSection, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">

<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Optimization"/>
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
</appSettings>
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="*" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>
<!--
Enabling request validation in view pages would cause validation to occur
after the input has already been processed by the controller. By default
MVC performs request validation before a controller processes the input.
To change this behavior apply the ValidateInputAttribute to a
controller or action.

<pages

This way of using
ViewBag
is terrible. What version of ASP.NET MVC?– Leonel Sanches da Silva
My version is 4.0_3.0.0.0. I was introduced to this tool (Webmatrix) and I met cshtml through it. I’m still learning how to deal with it. In fact the
ViewBag
nor is being recognized, this is being treated as text.– Neemias Carvalho
Should I replace this version of MVC in the directory?
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Web.Mvc\v4.0_3.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35
– Neemias Carvalho
I don’t think that’s a good idea. If I were you, would install MVC4 using an installer.
– Leonel Sanches da Silva
Thank you Gypsy! I’ll do what you recommended! Then I’ll tell you what happened.
– Neemias Carvalho
Even installing MVC4 at the address
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Web.Mvc\v4.0_4.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35
the Viewbag remains unknown.– Neemias Carvalho
Question: where exactly is this accommodation? Apparently it is in Azure, right?
– Leonel Sanches da Silva
He’s on my machine locally, and I’m using IIS Express as a server.
– Neemias Carvalho
Is there a specific need for the use of MVC4? It is already well outdated from the stable version today, which is MVC5. I don’t even know if it’s worth setting up MVC4.
– Leonel Sanches da Silva
It’s because I want Viewbag to be known on the page .cshtml . There in the file it was being seen as a variable and not as an object.
– Neemias Carvalho
My question is another. You could not use MVC5 instead of MVC4?
– Leonel Sanches da Silva
I can, yes, no problem.
