What wrong with my ViewModel

I am trying to pass some list to my view through ViewModel. I have rebuilt my project several times to no avail. I have checked online, nothing different from my approach.

enter image description here

namespace sportingbiz.Models.ViewModels
{
    public class MatchesViewModel
    {
        private List<MatchViewModel> _matches = new List<MatchViewModel>();
        public List<MatchViewModel> Matches
        {
            get { return _matches; }
            set { _matches = value; }
        }
    }
}

Markup

@model IEnumerable<sportingbiz.Models.ViewModels.MatchesViewModel>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>
<table style="width:100%">

@foreach (var item in Model.Matches)
{
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Team1Name)
        </td>
    </tr>
}

If I remove the .Matches from the foreach it works.Matches does not show in the intellisense.

IEnumerable does not contain a method called Matches. So naturally, trying to reference it won't work.

It's like taking a bag of chips and trying to get a chip by grabbing the bag, rather than reaching inside the bag.

I don't think you want to pass an IEnumerable of your viewmodel to the view. I think you just want to pass the view model itself.

Your model is IEnumerable<sportingbiz.Models.ViewModels.MatchesViewModel> which is a series of MatchesViewModels. You need to enumerate that list first before you can call Matches. If you're only returning one MatchesViewModel, change your model declaration to:

@model sportingbiz.Models.ViewModels.MatchesViewModel

Edit - A trick I use often is to hover over any of the instances of Model and VS will tell you what type the model is.
