ASP.NET MVC5 show exceptions error message in a label within a view possible?

In classic ASP.NET i placed a label on the .aspx page and when an error was thrown, for example by an try ... catch block, i made the label visible and bound the error message to the labels Text property.

But in MVC this seems not to be possible. All examples which i found in the web are showing how to redirect to an dedicated error view. But i wanted to the error directly on the page where it happens or within a model dialog.

Is this possible and how to do this in MVC (4/5)?

Pass the error message into a ViewBag and then show message in View.

Controller

public ActionResult Index()
{
    try 
    {           
        //Do something
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        ViewBag.Error = e.Message;
    }
    return View();
}

View

@if(ViewBag.Error != null)
{
    <label>@ViewBag.Error</label>
}
