Unable to use ViewBag in Views and Controllers - Sitefinity - Bugs & Issues

I just added some MVC Views and Controllers to my Sitefinity Web Application project which uses the ViewBag element, but when I attempt to access any of these pages, I receive the following error message:

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

How do I get the ViewBag element to render correctly within my Sitefinity MVC Views and Controllers?

Please advise.

Hi,

Define ViewBag value in the controller method action

public ActionResult Index()

var model = new ViewBagTestModel();

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.Message))

model.Message = "Hello, World!";

ViewBag.Test = "This is text form Viewbag";

and in the view call ViewBag with its key for access in my case its "Test";

@

@ViewBag.Test
