Cannot display mvc error view when exception occurs

Question

While debugging, I cannot display my Error view when an Exception occurs in my controller.

I know I'm missing something here, but cannot figure it out. It never makes it to my ErrorController.

I have a Controller in the Controllers folder called ErrorController.

I can verify the error message in the model variable when it's created.

Here is the exception code in my Controller:

filterContext.ExceptionHandled = true;
            var model = new HandleErrorInfo(filterContext.Exception, "Error", "Index");

            filterContext.Result = new ViewResult()
            {
                ViewName = "~/Views/Shared/Error",
                ViewData = new ViewDataDictionary<HandleErrorInfo>(model)
            };

My Error controller simply looks like this:

public class ErrorController : Controller
    {
        // GET: ErrorController
        public ViewResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }

Can someone tell me what I'm overlooking here?

You should give the view name the extension .cshtml if C#, or .vbhtml if VB.

Reference.
