Make sure you are accounting for where you are saying how you are using the model (i.e. @model [model name here] or @model IEnumberable<[model name here]> IF you are enumerating over your results like what would be likely for displaying a list of search results from a database; try using the a separate viewmodel. This will allow you to change how you are interacting with specific tables/columns indiviudally (i.e. if you are enumerating through them)
