# Model could not be found in MVC

Hi Everyone!

I have included a model and created a view file [as well as](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2481/can-you-write-a-java-class-that-could-be-used-both-as-an-applet-as-well-as-an-application) a [controller](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/273/passing-values-from-controller-to-view-in-asp-dot-net-mvc) to direct all of them

public class CreateNewUserModel\
{\
[Required]\
[Display(Name = "[User name](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/33836/how-to-check-current-user-name-of-database-in-sql-server)")]\
public string UserName { get; set; }

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Email required")]\
[EmailAddress(ErrorMessage = "Not a valid email")]\
public string UserEmail { get; set; }

[Required]\
[[StringLength](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160244/how-to-use-stringlength-to-limit-the-length-of-a-string-property-in-a-model)(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]\
[DataType(DataType.Password)]\
[Display(Name = "Password")]\
public string Password { get; set; }

[DataType(DataType.Password)]\
[Display(Name = "[Confirm password](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/117/how-we-create-confirm-password-page-in-asp-dot-net)")]\
[Compare("Password", ErrorMessage = "The password and confirmation password do not match.")]\
public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }

[Required]\
[Display(Name = "Role")]\
public string UserRole { get; set; }\
public IEnumerable<System.Web.Mvc.SelectListItem> UserRoles { get; set; }\
}\
On top of the view file

I also have @model CreateNewUserModel

and here is the [compilation error](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159699/what-is-a-compilation-error-in-dot-net-core-explain-with-an-example) I have got

Thanks in advance

Hi Ankita Pandey!

You just need to either fully specify the name of the model type or import the namespace for the model.

In View page, required namespace and model name when you used model properties.

e.g.

@model <namespace>.<class name>

@model ProjectName.CreateNewUserModel

or

@using ProjectName\
@model CreateNewUserModel

Here "ProjectName" is an example that you replace it in which you defined your model class.

I hope it resolve your problem.
