Hi all,

Here is my Model defined in MVC5 application:

What I have tried:

This is my action

public ActionResult CQuestions()
        {
            using (UserAccountContext userAccount = new UserAccountContext())
            {
                return View(userAccount.InterviewQuestions.ToList<interviewquestions>());
            }
        }

This is my view

@model List<alohomora.models.interviewquestions>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "CQuestions";
}

This is the exception

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[AlohoMora.Models.InterviewQuestions]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'AlohoMora.Models.User'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

The code you have posted can't generate that error. The error might be coming from a partial view you are using in the view?

What I would do is to start by expanding out the controller to do your troubleshooting; and then insert a breakpoint just before returning the value so that you can see exactly what is being returned.

C#

public ActionResult CQuestions() {
  List questions = new List<interviewquestions>();

  using (UserAccountContext userAccount = new UserAccountContext()) {
    questions = userAccount.InterviewQuestions.ToList<interviewquestions>();
  }
  return View(questions);  // insert breakpoint at start of this line
}
