mvc 3 The model item passed into the dictionary is of type A but this dictionary requires a model item of type B - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

I am getting the following error:
The model item passed into the dictionary is of type '...Models.VideoPostingModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type '...Models.RegisterModel'.
I am not sure what the issue is because the models match up...
Controller:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using stayyolo.Models;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Data;
...Controllers
{
public class VidsPostingController : Controller
{
private dbEntities db = new dbEntities();
//
// GET: /VidsPosting/
public ActionResult Details(Guid id)
{
Posting posting = db.Postings.Find(id);
if (posting.Image == null)
{
posting.Image = new byte[0];
db.Entry(posting).State = EntityState.Modified;
db.SaveChanges();
}
//convert ENTITY MODEL CLASS TO Model
VideoPostingModel toRet = new VideoPostingModel();
toRet.linkIfVideo = posting.LinkIfVideo;
toRet.PostDate = posting.PostDate;
toRet.Titile = posting.Titile;
toRet.TypeOfPosting = posting.TypeOfPosting;
return View(toRet);
}
}
Model:
public class VideoPostingModel
{
..Variables
public VideoPostingModel()
{
...
}
}
View:
#model ...Models.VideoPostingModel
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Details";
}
<fieldset>
<legend>Posting</legend>
<div class="display-label">
Description</div>
<div class="display-field">
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Description)
</div>
<div class="display-label">
Title</div>
<div class="display-field">
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Titile)
</div>
<div class="display-label">
Post Date</div>
<div class="display-field">
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.PostDate)
</div>
<div class="display-label">
Type Of Posting</div>
<div class="display-field">
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.TypeOfPosting)
</div>
</fieldset>
<div id="youtubePlayerdiv"">
<p style="text-align: justify">
Video!</p>
<iframe id="youtubePlayer" class="youtube-player" type="text/html"
width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/<%=Model.LinkIfVideo%>" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
</div>
<!-- end youtubeplayerDiv div -->
I very much appreciate the help in advance, issue occurs right when the website hits the details method of the controller.

The error you are getting implies that somewhere on your view or _Layout you have tried to render another partial like this:
#Html.Partial("~/Views/Account/Register.cshtml")
But this partial requires a different model - RegisterModel. So one possibility is to pass a new instance of this model to the partial when rendering it:
#Html.Partial("~/Views/Account/Register.cshtml", new RegisterModel())
