Trying to use Base MVC/Page and Model in the same view - asp.net-mvc-5

Question

I have a base class that I'm trying to use in a View. I understand now that #model is really an implementation of 'WebViewPage'. So, I believe there is probably a better way to accomplish what I want, maybe with an Action Filter or my BaseController object.
I was trying to do something like this:
public abstract class AuthenticatedViewPageBase : WebViewPage
{
private Login _user;
protected override void InitializePage()
{
_user = Session["User"] as Login;
}
public bool HasPermission(Permissions permission)
{
return HasPermission(new List<Permissions> { permission });
}
public bool HasPermission(List<Permissions> permissions)
{
if (_user == null)
_user = Session["User"] as Login;
return _user != null && permissions.Any(thisPerm => _user.Permissions.Any(p => p.PermissionId == (int)thisPerm));
}
}
And use it in a List View like this:
#using PublicationSystem.Model.Enums
#inherits PublicationSystem.Helpers.AuthenticatedViewPageBase
#model IEnumerable<PublicationSystem.Model.Profile>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_LayoutSmBanner.cshtml";
}
#if (HasPermission(new List<Permissions>
{
Permissions.userCreate
}))
{
<p>
#Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create");
</p>
}
....
But of course, I cannot use #inherits and #model together. (The Profile class is a simple model.)
What would be a good way to get abilities of function like HasPermission in MVC?

Answer 1

I defined two similar classes:
public abstract class AuthenticatedViewPageBase : WebViewPage
{
//....
}
public abstract class AuthenticatedViewPageBase<TModel> : WebViewPage<TModel>
{
//....
}
Then set \Views\web.config like this:
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<pages pageBaseType="PublicationSystem.Helpers.AuthenticatedViewPageBase">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Optimization" />
<add namespace="PublicationSystem" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>
Now my pages can use #model as normally and get the custom methods from my abstract version of WebViewPage.
#model IEnumerable<PublicationSystem.Model.Profile>
