ASP.net MVC 5 ViewBag using Razor
<p>Hey all I'm new to MVC/Razor and I am wanting to simply display a year on the view page.</p>

<p>The view page code:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;p&gt;&amp;copy; @Html.Raw(ViewBag.theDate) - Switchboard&lt;/p&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>And my controller code:</p>

<pre><code>public String getYear()
{
    ViewBag.theDate = DateTime.Now.Year.ToString();

    return View(ViewBag.theDate);
}
</code></pre>

<p>When viewing the page in IE it just prints out:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>© - Switchboard</p>
</blockquote>

<p>How can I call that controller function from my View using Razor?</p>
