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 was missing web.config under Areas/MyArea/Views/web.config. Once added it worked fine. This was with MVC 5 and .NET4.5

Answer 2

I was facing the same issue and then I find a solution. The solution is:

1. Close Visual Studio
2. Delete the SUO file
3. Restart Visual Studio

The .suo file is a hidden file in the same folder where the .svn solution file exists. Hope, it'll work!
