Question

I have my own model classes, which are public, but when making a view, I cannot find the model itself in the list of models to bind to. Why is this? Can I bind the model to the view somehow afterwards?

Thanks

Add the following to the top of your View:

@model your.namespace.YourModelClass

Then your controllers’ action method needs to return an appropriate instance of YourModelClass:

public ActionResult Index(){
    return View(new YourModelClass());
}
