I had the problem that I wanted to use my ViewBag to send a list of elements through a RenderPartial as the object, and to this you have to do the cast first, I had to cast the ViewBag in the controller and in the View too.

In the Controller:

ViewBag.visitList = (List<CLIENTES_VIP_DB.VISITAS.VISITA>)                                                                 
visitaRepo.ObtenerLista().Where(m => m.Id_Contacto == id).ToList()

In the View:

List<CLIENTES_VIP_DB.VISITAS.VISITA> VisitaList = (List<CLIENTES_VIP_DB.VISITAS.VISITA>)ViewBag.visitList ;

Use as variable to cast the Viewbag data to your desired class in view       IEnumerable lt WebApplication1 Models Person gt  personlist   ViewBag data as IEnumerable lt WebApplication1 Models Person gt      You may need to write WebApplication Models Person where WebApplication Models is   the namespace name where the Person class is defined  It is required so that view    can know about the class Person       In view write this    lt td gt        personlist FirstOrDefault   Name   lt  td gt

Just put a    List lt Person gt    into the ViewBag and in the View cast it back to List

User · Answer

In your view  you have to cast it back to the original type   Without the cast  it s just an object    lt td gt    ViewBag data as ICollection lt Person gt   First   FirstName  lt  td gt    ViewBag is a C  4 dynamic type   Entities returned from it are also dynamic unless cast   However  extension methods like  First   and all the other Linq ones do not work with dynamics   Edit - to address the comment   If you want to display the whole list  it s as simple as this    lt ul gt       foreach  var person in ViewBag data                 lt li gt  person FirstName lt  li gt         lt  ul gt    Extension methods like  First   won t work  but this will
