What is inside ViewBag?

In the MSDN documentation, there are ViewBag.MyMessageToUsers and ViewBag.AnswerText. In the ASP.net/mvc tutorial, there are ViewBag.Message, ViewBag.NumTimes and such. What are the data types of these properties? And where in the solution are they declared?

ViewBag is a dynamic collection. In your controller you can put whatever you want in it and call it from your View. They can be whatever objects and whatever types you want.

The link you provided to the MSDN Documentation is providing an example of this.

If you have the following in your controller:

ViewBag.Something = thing;

thing is declared somewhere, and you are accessing it here. You don't declare ViewBag, and Something gets automatically declared when you assign thing to it.
