Everything here looks correct. Are you able to get a stack trace or use a debugger to determine the exact line the error is happening on? — Damien_The_Unbeliever

You don't need to use the @Html.Label

Just use

@ViewBag.totalSpaces

Or Html.Label((string)@ViewBag.totalSpaces)

This should work

Try this one:

@Html.Label(ViewBag.totalSpaces)

From what we can see, what's being set into the ViewBag is a string anyway, and calling ToString() on a string doesn't do much. The question is currently unclear.

as i told that we cannot convert int to string in linq to sql.when i apply toString method it remains still as int when it is passed to viewBag.

@christos i trid u solution it is giving error Extension methods cannot be dynamically dispatched. Consider casting the dynamic arguments or calling the extension method without the extension method syntax.

@Damien_The_Unbeliever you are right. Everything is set into the ViewBag is a string and for that reason the .ToString() is not needed.

@Wasfa what you are saying is not possible
