When I try to run the website after creating the Index view the following error occurs
System.Web.Compilation.CompilationException CS0103: The name `Viewbag' does not exist in the current context
Description: Error compiling a resource required to service this request. Review your source file and modify it to fix this error.

Full code for index.cshtml is below:
@model ComicBookGallery.Models.ComicBook[]
@{ Viewbag.Title = "Comic Books"; }
<h2>@ViewBag.Title</h2>
<div class="row"> @foreach (var comicBook in Model) { <div class="col-md-3"> <h4>@comicBook.DisplayText</h4> <img src="/Images/@comicBook.CoverImageFileName" alt="@comicBook.DisplayText" class="img-responsive" /> </div> } </div>
I don't understand why Viewbag does not exist in the current context. Any help would be appreciated

Treehouse TeacherDavis,
The name of the property is actually "ViewBag" not "Viewbag". Remember, C# is case-sensitive!
Thanks ~James
