Hi all,

Here is my Model defined in MVC4 application:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Collections;

namespace BindPublicationsData.Models
{
    public class Publication
    {
        public Int64 id { get; set; }
        public string title { get; set; }
        public string abstractInfo { get; set; }
        public string description { get; set; }
        public string authors { get; set; }
        public string rationale { get; set; }
        public string keyTakeways { get; set; }
        public string thumbnail { get; set; }        
    }
}

Below is the Controller class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace BindPublicationsData.Controllers
{
    public class PublicationController : Controller
    {       
        private KnowledgeManagerEntities db = new KnowledgeManagerEntities();

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var publicationsList = (from eachPub in db.KM_Publication select eachPub).ToList();
            
            return View(db.KM_Publication.ToList());
        }
    }
}

And finally below is my View:

@model IEnumerable<BindPublicationsData.Models.Publication>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Publication</h2>

<table>
@foreach (var item in Model) {
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.title)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.description)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.abstractInfo)
        </td>        
    </tr>
}
</table>

After running this application I am getting the following error:

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[BindPublicationsData.KM_Publication]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[BindPublicationsData.Models.Publication]'.

Can any one tell me why I am getting this error?
