@model dynamic in mvc 3

Question

I am just curious about "@model dynamic" in mvc 3. Correct me if I am wrong but if you use this on a particular view then in your controller you can do this:

public ActionResult RandomView(int number)
{
    if (number == 5)
    {
       ModelFive model = new ModelFive();
       return View(model);
    }

    if (number == 6)
    {
       ModelSix model = new ModelSix();
       return View(model);
    } 
 }

I there anything else I am missing with 'dynamic' keyword? Somehow i did not find any useful doc.

Make one view model with the properties needed for RandomView? — Joe, Jan 31 '12 at 12:51
Actually I was not aware of dynamic keyword before. So at first I thought it is meant only for model in mvc 3 and now i have figure that its actually something more.

take a look at this question. it goes through using the ExpandoObject to create a dynamic model.

Thank you for this. I was not aware of ExpandoObject either before – TheMentor Feb 01 '12 at 09:15
