title: 'Personal' is a type, which is not valid in the given context
body: <p>I just created a new MVC Project and created an empty view. I wrote my first line of code while trying to declare the Model for the view which looks like following:</p>
  
  <pre><code> @model Personal;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where personal is a Model which actually exists. However, it is continuously showing me following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>'Personal' is a type, which is not valid in the given context</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have no idea why something so simple can fail. I wish I could post more code but seriously there is nothing more to it, and I'm not sure why it is failing. I have browsed through some of the SO posts, but not one is having the same error at such a trivial location.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
