missing compilation references in Razor pages after adding model

Question

I am creating a .NET Core web app using framework 4.6.2. I built my first view, testing throughout, until I added my view model and the page now errors out whenever I navigate to it. The errors are shown below. The ViewModel has all of the referenced properties on it. I don't even have a project.json given it's a brand new project on VS17.

Answer 1

This will happen if the properties you're using on your view model are not marked public. In my case, I had them marked internal and so was getting this error.
