I really appreciate all this mate.

The viewmodel is now ok but I am still getting some errors in the controller:

Error 1 'Component2.ViewModels.IndexViewModel' does not contain a definition for 'Count' and no extension method 'Count' accepting a first argument of type 'Component2.ViewModels.IndexViewModel' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Error 2 foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'Component2.ViewModels.IndexViewModel' because 'Component2.ViewModels.IndexViewModel' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

Below is the code:

@model Component2.ViewModels.IndexViewModel

@{

ViewBag.Title ="Store";

}

<p>

Select from @Model.Count() Genre's:

</p>

<ul>
@foreach (var genre in Model)
