cannot rename Model in dropdownlistfor

Question

I want to add Dropdownlist in my MVC application but I have an error.

CS0135: 'Model' conflicts with the declaration 'System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage<TModel>.Model'

This is my razor code for dropdownlist

@Html.DropDownListFor(a => a.UserId, new SelectList(Model.UserItems, "Id", "UserName"));

*Most of the reference said I cannot use Model in select list. But I cannot rename to others. Kindly support if you have any ways.

if u want add dropdown values from view u may try like this @Html.DropDownListFor(a=> a. UserId  DDLName Select id ) List DDLName= new List (); Country_Code.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = +91 Value = +91 }); Country_Code.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = +913 Value = +913 }); Country_Code.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = +912 Value = +912 }); Country_Code.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = +367 Value = +367 }); }--like wise or if u want to bind dropdown from database u may try like this @Html.DropDownListFor(a => a. UserId  DDL Select id new {@id=USerID) first creat a object for u DAl or anyother way as u r wish List DDL=new List (); DataTable dtCompanyData=_objDAL.getDDL();---(getDDL is a method for calling dropdown values from db )---hope this will helps
