Passing query data from controller to view - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have been stuck on this problem for too long and would love some help.
On a view people can select two items from two radiobutton lists which returns via a FormMethod.Get to the Index event in HomeController.
These 2 values, 'parts and 'use' are queried to return a result and its passed back to the view via a viewbag. However the viewbag returns a line like { Item = Kona, Price = 400.0000, Quantity = 2 } in the view.
Whereas I want to return each item such as item.Item, Item.Price so I can use them individually.
I have tried everything I can find to no avail.
Anonymous classes items also throw red errors
View
foreach(var item in ViewBag.getstock)
{ //Show it and then make a new line with the <BR/>
#item < br / >
//{ Item = Kona, Price = 400.0000, Quantity = 2 }
}
HomeController
public ActionResult Index()
{
//this returns the entire query string
ViewBag.querystring = Request.QueryString;
//if any keys are in the url from the view
if (Request.QueryString.HasKeys())
{
//extract them out so that you can use them
//key = the name such as Part or Use it goes Key & Value this is passed to a Viewbag
//get(o) is getting the value at place 0, the first value in the url
ViewBag.querystringvalue0 = Request.QueryString.Get(0);
ViewBag.querystringvalue1 = Request.QueryString.Get(1);
}
//if there is any query string
if (Request.QueryString.HasKeys())
{
//pass the data to a couple of variables,
var parts = Request.QueryString.Get(0);
var use = Request.QueryString.Get(1);
//put them in a new query and return the results
ViewBag.getstock = from p in Bikeshopdb.Stocks
where p.PartName == parts && (p.Road == use || p.Mtn == use || p.Hybrid == use) select new
{
p.Item, p.Price, p.Quantity
};
}
return View(Bikeshopdb.Stocks.ToList());

Use a ViewModel class to hold the query results and pass back to the view. For example:
HomeController
public class MatchingStock()
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Item { get; set; }
public int Price { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; }
}
public ActionResult Index()
{
//...
var list =
(from p in Bikeshopdb.Stocks
where p.PartName == parts &&
(p.Road == use || p.Mtn == use || p.Hybrid == use)
select new MatchingStock() {
ID = p.ID,
Item = p.Item,
Price = p.Price,
Quantity = p.Quantity}).ToList();
ViewBag.getstock = list;
//...
}
View
#foreach (var item in (List<MatchingStock>)ViewBag.getstock)
{
#item.Item #item.Price #item.Quantity
<br />
}
