/Home/ public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } }}
```
#### Step 2
Now add a view to the project named “Index”
```
@{ ViewBag.Title = "Index";} Index
```
#### Step 3
Now add a new folder to the project named “Shared” like this:

```
@{ Layout = null;} Error Error.
An error occurred while processing your request.

```
[HandleError()] public ActionResult Index() { string temp = Session["temp"].ToString(); return View(); }
```
