asp.net mvc - Trying to add a model to a view but it doesn't show -

why can't find model on image:

contactviewmodel class is:

using system.componentmodel.dataannotations;  namespace moran.viewmodels {     public class contactviewmodel     {         [required]         [stringlength(255, minimumlength = 5)]         public string name { get; set; }         [required]         [emailaddress]         public string email { get; set; }         [required]         [stringlength(1024, minimumlength = 5)]         public string message { get; set; }     } }

the line: @model bazarmoran.viewmodels.contactviewmodel not being recognize.

thank in advance

you using wrong namespace.

your viewmodel defined moran.viewmodels namespace instead of bazarmoran.viewmodels.

then must use

@model moran.viewmodels.contactviewmodel  

instead of

@model bazarmoran.viewmodels.contactviewmodel 

or change namespace contactviewmodel class bazarmoran.viewmodels.
