Your model is null. I guess that your view is strongly typed to some collection:

@model IEnumerable<SomeType>
@foreach (var item in Model)
{
    ...
}

except that inside the controller action that rendered this view you didn't pass any model to the view or you passed null. So make sure that this doesn't happen:

public ActionResult SomeAction()
{
    IEnumerable<SomeType> model = ... fetch the collection from somewhere and make sure this collection is not null
    return View(model);
}

Another thing I am noticing is that you are pointing your WebGrid source to some MvcPopupGrid.Models.User.Users property:

var grid = new WebGrid(source: MvcPopupGrid.Models.User.Users, rowsPerPage: 5);

You should also make sure that this property doesn't return null.
