    copied!<p>So I'm passing the following view model to my view, but the view is throwing an exception everytime it I try to visit the page. Any explanation as to why this is happening would be great, pointers on how to fix it would be better! Thanks.</p> <pre><code>The model item passed into the dictionary is of type MyCompareBase.Models.CategoryIndex', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[MyCompareBase.Models.CategoryIndex]'. </code></pre> <p>View Model</p> <pre><code>public class CategoryIndex { public string Title { get; set; } [DisplayName("Categories")] public IEnumerable&lt;string&gt; CategoryNames { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>View</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;MyCompareBase.Models.CategoryIndex&gt; @{ ViewBag.Title = "Index"; Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; } &lt;h2&gt;Index&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt; @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create") &lt;/p&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt; @Html.DisplayNameFor(model =&gt; model.Title) &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; @foreach (var item in Model) { &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.CategoryNames) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ }) | @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ }) | @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { /* id=item.PrimaryKey */ }) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p></p> <p>Controller</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult Index() { var localDb = db.Categories.Select(c =&gt; c.Name); var wcf = category.Categories().Select(c =&gt; c.Name); var all = new HashSet&lt;String&gt;(localDb); all.UnionWith(wcf); var viewModel = new Models.CategoryIndex { Title = "Avaliable Product Categories", CategoryNames = all.AsEnumerable() }; return View(viewModel); } </code></pre>
