public static ViewResult With(this ViewResult vr, string key, object value)

}

Visual Studio says
Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewResult'

Does this work with Razor?

Compiler Error Message: CS1973: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' has no applicable method named 'TextBox' but appears to have an extension method by that name. Extension methods cannot be dynamically dispatched. Consider casting the dynamic arguments or calling the extension method without the extension method syntax.

After very long looking at the code, I noticed that I typed "@Model". it should be "@model".
I didn't know model is case-sensitive.

"@Model x.y" will be in the string as "x.y x.y"

any ideas ?

You can write:

View("ViewName").With("name", "Dima").With("likes", "Ruby").Capture(ControllerContext)

with this simple extension method:

public static ViewResult With(this ViewResult vr, string key, object value) {
vr[key] = value;
return vr;
}

This is a cleaner solution that others out there. Does anyone have an example if the Action also uses parameters?
