The name 'model' does not exist in current context in MVC3

Question

I added a cshtml page in an project. When I tried to add the following declaration to it, I get an error: \"The name \'model\' does not exist in current context\".

Answer 1

I ran into this same problem, but in my case, the only thing that had changed is that I had uninstalled Visual Studio 2012 and installed Visual Studio 2013. I opened up our solution, but I kept getting the same The name 'model' does not exist in current context error in every Razor view.

My coworker suggested checking for updates for VS2013. After I installed the VS2013 Update 1, I stopped getting this error.
