From controller enforce required param on an MVC strongly typed view?

Question

I have a controller with that I want to pass off some data to a view.

The view is strongly typed like:

System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<SomeObject>

Now when I call the following in the controller:

return View("SomeAction", someObject);

I want it to enforce that I need to pass in 'someObject'.

Eg. I want the following to fail and not compile:

View("SomeAction");

No matter what, the expected object must always be passed to the view.

Is this possible or am I totally off base?

I would just write a test for this case and don't bother for the rest:

var actual = controllerUnderTest.Action() as ViewResult;
Assert.IsNotNull(actual.ViewData.Model);
Assert.IsInstanceOfType(actual.ViewData.Model, typeof(SomeObject));
