I can't seem to find a good blog post that shows how to bind a model to a view without the magic strings "ViewData" (using a strongly-typed view is the approach I'm trying to take) Does anyone know what I need to alter in the below to bind this directly to my model?

I've inherited the Model in my Control: Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" but intellisense isn't exposing the model and the page isn't happy with it if I force the code in.
