Load Razor view from db, but ViewBag is broken

I have an MVC3 application. I have added numerous views to it. I added another view. Tried to view it in a browser and i get this error:

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

I'm using ViewBag throughout my app. This is the razor view code:

   @{
       ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    }

   <h2>Index</h2>

This is my controller code:

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        ViewBag.Title = "Order Details Page";
        return View();
    }

What extremely simple step am i missing? Thanks

It sounds like you have the wrong base class. What folder is the view in? – SLaks May 16 '12 at 15:46
Views/OrderDetail. I let VS2010 create it for me by right clicking inside the ActionResult and choosing "Add View". I do that all the time – BoundForGlory May 16 '12 at 15:48
Does the error show in VS? Do other views still work? – SLaks May 16 '12 at 15:50
No i can compile and run my app fine. I can get to any view i want except the OrderDetail view. This is strange – BoundForGlory May 16 '12 at 15:52
It was a VS2010 glitch. I closed and restarted VS and now it works ...thanks anyway – BoundForGlory May 16 '12 at 15:59
