How can I strongly-type in what my View inherits from?

Question

CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Helpers' does not exist in the namespace 'UTEPSA' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Here is the view code that's trying to inherit:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<UTEPSA.Helpers.PaginatedList<Area>>" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    Index
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">

    <h2>Index</h2>

    <table>
        <tr>
            <th></th>
            <th>
                ID
            </th>
            <th>
                IDJefe
            </th>
            <th>
                Nombre
            </th>
        </tr>

    <% foreach (var item in Model) { %>

        <tr>
            <td>
                <%: Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.ID }) %> |
                <%: Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.ID })%> |
                <%: Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.ID })%>
            </td>
            <td>
                <%: item.ID %>
            </td>
            <td>
                <%: item.IDJefe %>
            </td>
            <td>
                <%: item.Nombre %>
            </td>
        </tr>

    <% } %>

    </table>

    <p>
        <%: Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create") %>
    </p>

</asp:Content>

And a screenshot of my solution:

How can I correctly reference my PaginatedList? Since the view is inheriting from my thing I want, I'd expect to have strongly typed Model to work with. But intellisense isn't working so somethings wrong.

You must add the assembly to both the Project Reference list as well as the <system.web><compilation><assemblies> section of web.config.
