Answer 1

In your view, make sure you have this:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "My Page";
}

In Views\Shared\_Layout.cshtml, make sure this is there:

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>

Answer 2

Change the Views\Shared_Layout.cshtml. Generally it comes with

<title>@ViewBag.Title - My ASP.Net MVC application</title>
