Can anyone tell me if and why I should void using ViewData in ASP.Net MVC?

This has probably come before and is probably very subjective. I have been tols to avoid using ViewData and use a FromViewModel class to pass informaiton to the view istead.

Are there any major advantages of this approach?

Thanks

Davy

ViewData is not strong typed, whilst Models are. So Models are less error-prone and more clear.
