Your user control page should inherit from System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<TModel> not System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<TModel>.

On your user control page use:

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<Something.Models.SomeModel>" %>

@hrrrr In your question the control page is inheriting from ViewPage not ViewUserControl
