I am writing an application wherein I need to iterate through a ArrayList sent by the controller to the view using Viewdata.
The controller action:
public ActionResult ConfirmItemsList(string[] arr) { // I generate ArrayList here , call it arrayLst ViewData["ItemsList"] = arrayLst; }
Now I need to iterate this ViewData and display as unordered list in the view ( which is not strongly typed ), but am not able to get the syntax of for/foreach right.
I keep getting the error : foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'object' because 'object' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'
Can some one please help me.
Thanks.

I think you are missing a cast. If you know it's an arrayList cast it as such when you pull it out of ViewData. Check out this link for more info.
