Introduction
ViewData and ViewBag are used for the same purpose to transfer data from controller to view. Both life lies only in current request. ViewData is nothing but dictionary of object and it is accessible by string as key. ViewData is property of controller that exposes an instance of the ViewDataDictionary class. ViewBag is very similar to ViewData. ViewBag is a dynamic property (dynamic keyword which is introduced in .net framework 4.0). ViewBag is able to set and get value dynamically and able to add any number of additional fields without converts it to strongly typed. ViewBag is just a wrapper around the ViewData.
ViewData Example
ViewData VS ViewBag VS TempData
Conclusion
We have three options ViewData, ViewBag and TeampData for passing data from controller to view and in next request. ViewData and ViewBag are almost similar and it helps us to transfer the data from controller to view whereas TempData is also work during the current and subsequent request.

ViewData Example
//Controller Code
public ActionResult Index()
{
List<string>
Student = new List<string>();
Student.Add("Jignesh");
Student.Add("Tejas");
Student.Add("Rakesh");
ViewData["Student"] =
Student;
return View();
}
//page code
<ul>
<% foreach (var
student in ViewData["Student"]
as List<string>)
{
%>
<li><%:
student%></li>
<% } %>
</ul>
ViewBag Example
ViewBag Example
//Controller Code
public ActionResult Index()
{
List<string>
Student = new List<string>();
Student.Add("Jignesh");
Student.Add("Tejas");
Student.Add("Rakesh");
ViewBag.Student = Student;
return View();
}
//page code
<ul>
<% foreach (var
student in ViewBag.Student)
{
%>
<li><%:
student%></li>
<% } %>
</ul>
TempData is a dictionary which is derived from TempDataDictionary class. TempData is stored data just like live session for short time. TempData Keep data for the time of HTTP Request it mean that it hold data between two consecutive requests. TempData help us to transfer data between controllers or between actions. TempData internally use Session variables. Note that TempData is only work during the current and subsequent request. It is generally used to store one time message. With the help of TempData.Keep() method we can keep value in TempData object after request completion.

In depth,
ViewBag is used dynamic, so there is no need to type conversion while
enumerating.
