What is the Strongly Typed version of CurrentPage.Id?

I am using Umbraco CMS and I am switching my code from dynamic to strongly typed.

I have been looking at replacing CurrentPage.Id with Model.Content.Id however visual studio is underlining the Id with a red line with the message:

Cannot convert method group 'id' to non-delegate type 'object'. Did you intend to invoke method?

Besides this it is working fine.

I tried using Model.Content.Id() which removes the red line however it throws the error:

CS1501: No overload for method 'Id' takes 0 arguments

Should I just use Model.Content.Id anyway? Can this visual studio 'error' be ignored? Is there a better way of doing this?

Model.Content.Id is correct, Model.Content is an IPublishedContent object with an Id property

To make intellisense work you can add the following namespaces to the web.config located in the Views directory

<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
  <namespaces>
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
    <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Web" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Core" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Core.Models" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Web.Mvc" />
    <add namespace="umbraco" />
    <add namespace="Examine" />
    <add namespace="Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels" />        
  </namespaces>
</pages>
