ViewBag[^] was introduced with MVC3. It is a property of type dynamic[^] (and not Object as the link is showing it) - available since framework version 4. It serves the same use as ViewData[^], but it is more convenient to use. You can use both, but they are not linked, they are two absolutely separate properties. In the background, both are dictionaries.
