title: Sending a error message from the controller to the view in ASP.net MVC3
body: <p>I am curious as to how to do this, I want to send a custom error message for forums <strong>and</strong> for regular views from a controller to a view (thus looking for examples of both). I have seen  <code>ModelState.AddError()</code> how ever I am looking to control the look the error message that is be able to wrap it in divs on the front end.</p>
  
  <p>any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>I am very new to ASP.net and the tutorials out there for this seem very confusing to me. So I don't really have any code to show as I am not sure what I am suppose to do.</p>
