Car Display Page - Weakly Typed View

This example demonstrates using a Weakly-Typed View to display a collection of Cars. The controller passes the collection of Car objects to this View using the ViewBag. This View is considered a Weakly-Typed View because it doesn't have a Model class assigned to it. Views that do not have a Model class assigned to it can only retrieve data from the Controller using the ViewData/ViewBag collection. This View uses two separate Controller methods to handle the processing of this page. The Controller's "GetCars" method is used to query the database, create a collection of Cars, and store the collection of Cars in the ViewBag that is used in generating the HTML content for this page before it is delivered to the client. The View also uses the Controller's "SearchCarsByMake" method to process the HTML form that is used to perform a search based on the user input for make. The form uses HTTP Post to submit the form data to the Controller's method.
