c# - How do you access application variables in asp.net mvc 3 razor views?

I set a Application variable in my global.asa.cs with:

    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        ...

        // load all application settings
        Application["LICENSE_NAME"] = "asdf";

    }

and then try to access with my razor view like this:

@Application["LICENSE_NAME"]

and get this error:

Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'Application' does not exist in the current context

what is the proper syntax?

Views are not supposed to pull data from somewhere. They are supposed to use data that was passed to them in form of a view model from the controller action. So if you need to use such data in a view the proper way to do it is to define a view model:

public class MyViewModel
{
    public string LicenseName { get; set; }
}

have your controller action populate it from wherever it needs to populate it (for better separation of concerns you might use a repository):

public ActionResult Index()
{
    var model = new MyViewModel
    {
        LicenseName = HttpContext.Application["LICENSE_NAME"] as string
    };
    return View(model);
}

and finally have your strongly typed view display this information to the user:

<div>@Model.LicenseName</div>

That's the correct MVC pattern and that's how it should be done.

Avoid views that pull data like pest, because today it's Application state, tomorrow it's a foreach loop, next week it's a LINQ query and in no time you end up writing SQL queries in your views.
