ViewBag v/s ViewData


Hi Friends,
If you go through ASP.NET MVC 3.0 framework then you will find  two frequently  used collection of data object which  used to pass data between control and views  and partial views. as both are doing similar functionality but has  some difference in that , so today , I would like to  put some difference of those and interoperability of that .



ViewData
ViewBag
It is dictionary of name/value pair  collection
It is dynamic  type object
This features exist since 1st release of ASP.NET MVC
This features available from ASP.NET MVC 3.0
This will work  in ASP.NET with .net 3.5 framework and above
This will work well with ASP.NET 4.0  with .net 4.0 framework and above
ViewData is faster compare to ViewBag   
ViewBag is slower than ViewData
While retrieving  data from viewData in to view pages , one need to do proper type casting
While retrieving  data from viewbag in to view pages , one need  not to do  type casting
Hence it make code with lots of  type casting  fragments
Hence it make more clear code
