Model Conflicts with the Declaration

I've been getting this error message 'Error 2'Model' conflicts with the declaration 'System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage.Model' and I can't figure out how to fix it. 

 public partial class Person
    {
        [System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Usage", 
         "CA2214:DoNotCallOverridableMethodsInConstructors")]
        public Person()
        {
        }
        public int PersonID { get; set; }
        public string FullName { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public virtual EHR_Gender EHR_Gender { get; set; }
        public int GenderID { get; set; }
        public virtual Gender Gender { get; set; }
     }

I created this partial class and add the GenderData property to be able to pass a list of SelectList items. 

    public partial class Person
    {
        public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> GenderData { get; set; }
    }

I am getting the conflict error message in the below piece of code. 

    @Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Gender.Description, Model.GenderData, new { @class = "form-control" })

I have searched on Google for a solution. The majority of the fixes have something to do with someone using 'model' instead of 'Model'. This is not the case for here.

The code you have shown will not result in that error. Its generated because somewhere in you view you have used a HtmlHelper method with an expression using capital M Model, followed by another reference to @Model, for example

@Html.TextBoxFor(Model => Model.SomeProperty) 
....
<div>@Model.AnotherProperty</div>

Note also that if you swapped the order of the above elements, you would get a different exception.
