MVC4 Razor difference in @model and @inherit in view header?
To make a view strongly typed we can use @model and @inherit . Can you please tell me what the difference is between both of them? Edit: Please see this example . The difference is as follows: if your view inherits from WebViewPage<T> then your model directive points to T . In other words, these two are equivalent @inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage<ModelClass> and @model ModelClass Reference: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/10/19/asp-net-mvc-3-new-model-directive-support-in-razor.aspx They are the same (i.e. indicate strongly-typed model classes) but @inherit is more verbose
