Question

Right so. I created a new project in Visual Studio of type Internet Application.

In the HomeController.vb file I have:

Function Index() as ActionResult
    ViewData("Message") = "Page Title"
    Return View()
End Function

and in the view ‘Index.aspx’ I need that view data to be displayed between the ‘ < h1 > ‘ tags that I have.

I have looked around and found people saying to type:

 <%= ViewData["Message"] %>
or
 <% @ViewData["Message"] %>

but none of these are working 🙁

Answer 1

You might be using the wrong bracket? Should it not be?

<%= ViewData("Message") %>
