Answer 1

Try: If you want based on ViewBag try this:

@if(ViewBag.Data == true)
{
//Put code here.
}

Or based on ProfileId:

@if(ProfileId == User.Identity.Name)
{
//Put code here.
}

Answer 2

You can do that logic directly in the View:

@if (Profileid == User.Identity.Name) {

    <input type="submit" ... />

}
