Where are the ViewData and ViewBag located?

Question

Note. This is not a duplicate of this question as it does not fully answer the question.

My question is where exactly is it stored when you assign a value ViewData

or ViewBag

for example TempData

in a session.

Are both also in Session

?

If not, then where?

As @SlickSim pointed out, they are stored on the heap as reference types are in .net.

ViewBag

has a type dynamic

but internallySystem.Dynamic.ExpandoObject()

It is declared like this:

dynamic ViewBag = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();

so you can:

ViewBag.Foo = "Bar";

Inheritance Hierarchy:

System.Object    
    System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject
