I'm currently working on parsing a JSON file in my controller and implementing try/catch functionality for any errors that may arise. When an error occurs during the JSON parsing process, I populate ViewBag with the error message and attempt to display it in the view. However, despite confirming that the error message exists within ViewBag, it does not appear on the screen.
Here is the relevant code snippet from the Controller:
catch (JsonReaderException jex)
{
ViewBag.Error = "JSON Parsing Error: " + jex.Message;
return View();
}
Below is how I've implemented the error message in my view:
@if ((string)ViewBag.Error != "")
{
@Html.Label((string)ViewBag.Error)<br>
}
