Asp.net-mvc – The model item passed into the dictionary is of type ‘System.Collections.Generic.Lis

asp.netasp.net-mvclinqlinq-to-entities

Calling Index view is giving me this very very annoying error . Can anybody tell me what to do about it

Error:
The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List1[MvcApplication13.Models.Groups]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'MvcApplication13.Helpers.PaginatedList1[MvcApplication13.Models.Groups]'.

public ActionResult Index(int? page)
{
const int pageSize = 10;
var group =from p in _db.Groups orderby p.int_GroupId select p;

      var paginatedGroup = group.Skip((page ?? 0) * pageSize).Take(pageSize).ToList();
      return View(paginatedGroup);            
    }

View:

You lost some data when you pasted your code. This is what I think you meant to paste: View

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" 
  MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" 
 Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<MvcApplication13.Helpers.PaginatedList<MvcApplication13.Models.Groups>>" %>

If so , you code should look similar to this (ie. create a new instance of the PaginatedList class):

public ActionResult Index(int? page) {

    const int pageSize = 10;

    var upcomingDinners = dinnerRepository.FindUpcomingDinners();
    var paginatedDinners = new PaginatedList<Dinner>(upcomingDinners, page ?? 0, pageSize);

    return View(paginatedDinners);
}
