Compiler Error Message: CS0135: 'Model' conflicts with the declaration 'System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage.Model'

Question

I am using ASP.NET MVC 3. I have created a strongly typed view that has a form. At the bottom of the page I have and ActionLink ``` @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = Model.UserId}) ``` this will allow the user to edit the information. When I run the app I get the following error. ``` Compiler Error Message: CS0135: 'Model' conflicts with the declaration 'System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage<TModel>.Model' ``` What could this be.

Accepted Answer

I guess somewhere in your view you have used a strongly typed helper with a lambda expression using the reserved `Model` keyword. Like for example:

```
@Html.TextBoxFor(Model => Model.SomeProperty)
```

it should be:

```
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.SomeProperty)
```

or any other name.
