If you want to create a list of a type then you have to specify the type in List. For example , you want list of Model Class 1 then you have to say List<modelclass1>.
In your case, you have to create a ModelView class.
public class ModelViewClass
{
public int nameid {get;set;}
public string place {get;set;}
}
Here you are not creating a new model class but a view model class to work with view.
This is the MVC way of doing things.
