Answer 1

I am sorry to hear that you find web programming little not interesting. You can do following to bind your viewbag data in your textbox

@Html.TextBox("txtDescription", (string)ViewBag.Title)

As to check if ViewBag is null or not you can do following:

@if (ViewBag.Title != null)
{
    //do your textbox assignment here.
}
