How to pass an integer value using ViewData in asp.net mvc and then use value stored in ViewData to compare with another integer value in the view?



For eg.



I want to do something like this in the controller :


ViewData["dummy"] = 100;



and then in the view I wish to compare its value like :


@if(ViewData["dummy"] = 100)

// do some stuff



Currently if I do this, I get an error saying -


Operator "==" cannot be applied to operands of type 'object' and 'int'





Replace @if(ViewData["dummy"] = 100) to @if(Convert.ToInt32(ViewData["dummy"]))==100

@OleEHDufour It still gives me a run-time exception saying - InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.Internal.EntityQueryable`1[System.Int32]' to type 'System.IConvertible'.

Try
if((int)ViewData["dummy"] == 100)


if((int)ViewData["dummy"] == 100)



but I would also add a null check and some kind of "safe casting helper method"
