Model could not be found

I have included a model and created a view file as well as a controller to direct all of them

public class CreateNewUserModel
{
    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "User name")]
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Email required")]
    [EmailAddress(ErrorMessage = "Not a valid email")]
    public string UserEmail { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]
    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "Password")]
    public string Password { get; set; }

    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "Confirm password")]
    [Compare("Password", ErrorMessage = "The password and confirmation password do not match.")]
    public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Role")]
    public string UserRole { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<System.Web.Mvc.SelectListItem> UserRoles { get; set; }
}

On top of the view file

I also have @model CreateNewUserModel

and here is the compilation error I have got

Method 1

You just need to either fully specify the name of the model type or import the namespace for the model.

e.g.

@model MyNamespace.CreateNewUserModel

or

@using MyNamespace
@model CreateNewUserModel

Obviously, replace “MyNamespace” in the examples above with the namespace in which you defined your model class.
