Alias ViewData.Model

[Mat]

Is there an easy way to define a global alias for ViewData.Model e.g.
m or heck I'd settle for model e.g. the way its aliased in the
viewdata tag.

so I can use ${m.Name} rather than ${ViewData.Model.Name}

Perhaps this is not the standard way of working with Spark, a few
experiments I know I can have alias that reference a key in the
viewdata dictionary but not directly the strong type Model, Im porting
an app which has one strong type view model per view and want to
continue this route as easily/char-less as possible

try <var m="ViewData.Model as [type]" /> in your view page. That should give you 'm' as a strong-typed representation of your Model.

I did something similar except I derived from the base view class and
created my own custom view class so I didn't need to continually cast
my viewmodel in the views.

Add the following line in Application.spark :
# var m = Model;

that's it

[Louis DeJardin]

try also <viewdata model="MyType foo"/> to see if that creates a foo accessor for the Model property
