ViewBag Mvc4 Error

Question

I am new in MVC4 vb.net. I faced this error when I run my program.

"MissingMemberException was unhandled by user code.

Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Chars' accepts this number of arguments."

Hereby shows my code:

HelloWorldController.vb

    Public Function Welcome(name As String, Optional numTimes As Integer = 1) As ActionResult
        ViewBag.Message = "Hello" & name
        ViewBag.NumTimes = numTimes

        Return View()
    End Function

Welcome.aspx

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
  <%ViewBag.Title = "Welcome"%>

  <h2>Welcome</h2>
  <ul>
     <%For i = 0 To ViewBag.NumTimes-1%>
        <li> <%ViewBag.Message()%> </li> //error 
  <%Next i%>
  </ul>

</asp:Content>

Please explain to me why this will happen. Thank in advance.

Answer 1

The problem is <%ViewBag.Message()%>

Change it to <%= ViewBag.Message %>.
