    <p>I have two controller actions that target the same view. That is, I have specified a view name on the call to View from controller action. The second action puts an html string in a ViewBag. I simply just want to display this html string in the view. I have tried </p> <pre><code>@ViewBag.HtmlDoc </code></pre> <p>and </p> <pre><code>@Html.Raw(ViewBag.HtmlDoc) </code></pre> <p>but nothing is rendered. </p> <p>Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p> <p>--controller code---</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult ShowReport(string URL) { string tableString = ""; [Code to Create table called ReportTable and add rows etc] tableString = RenderControlToString(ReportTable ); ViewBag.Table= tableString; return View("ShowReport"); } </code></pre> <p>I debugged the ViewBag.Table on the View and can see the html string. But the View never gets updated / rendered. I tested with a simple text like:</p> <pre><code>@if (ViewBag.Table != null) { //@ViewBag.Table; @:The day is: @DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek. } </code></pre> <p>It goes into the code so I know ViewBag.Table is not null, but the string doesn't get rendered, either. </p> <p>Do I need to refresh RenderBody() in the _layout.cshtml??? or something to that effect?</p> <p>-- ajax call--</p> <p>a button onclick event calls this ajax method:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ url: "/Home/ShowReport", data: { URL: urlString} , type: 'POST', success: function(data) { alert(data); }, error: function (e, textStatus, jqXHR) { alert(e.statusText); } }); </code></pre>

    1. COyou absolutely have to include code samples. not easy to include enough code and not make it overwhelming, but otherwise your scenario is not follow-able

    3. COThat's odd. You don't need Html.Raw for this. your first attempt should do it every time. add the controller code where you populate you ViewBag variable. I cant think of any other issue than it failed to populate.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
