What is this?
TempData is part of Razor — the HTML your users see. Controllers pass data; Razor displays it.
Why should you care?
Product pages, forms, and admin tables all use TempData or build on it.
See it live — copy this example
Create an MVC project (dotnet new mvc), add the code, and run dotnet run.
// TempData — ShopNest.Mvc example
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index() => View();
}
Run Example »
Edit the code and click Run — like W3Schools Try it Yourself.
What happened?
- Study the example line by line.
- Each part connects to TempData.

Try it yourself
- Locate the .cshtml file that uses TempData.
- Change one line and refresh the browser.
- Match the example code to your project file.
- Change text or labels in the example and run again — watch the browser update.
- Break the code on purpose (remove a semicolon), read the error message, then fix it.
