I Added a New Page and Controller on MVC and Get an Internal Server Error?

That's a bit too vague to be able to answer straight off the bat.  Firstly, can you tell if your controller is being hit or not? Put a break point on whatever action is being called by default and see if it is hit when you run your project.

A bit more detail about your controller, view and what both are doing would be helpful.

Yes, I am hitting the controller.  I set a break point in the controller and it is hitting the ActionResult Index().

I wrote a basic Controller and a Basic view with the view returning to the controller.

I Wrote a basic Controller:

using System.Web.Configuration;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace BCA.GunPermit.Controllers
{
    public class GunPermitSearchController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

Select allOpen in new window

View:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Search";
}

<h2>Search Test</h2>

<br />

<div class="gun-permit-search">
    <div id="search-purpose-code" class="well well-sm">


    </div>
</div>

Select allOpen in new window

What is your view called?  Is it called "Search", or is it called "Index"?

It is called Search
