Webview giving Column Does not Exist Error - vb.net

Question

I am using
MVC 3
VB.NET and
Razor ViewEngine.
I am playing around with WebGrid in my application and it is telling me "failEmList" does not exist.
Below is the code from the calling Function, the View, and the part of the model that it is getting the data from.
FailEmailSends is just a List(of string) and has lines with single entries of email Addresses.
Dim vm As New MassEmailVM
For Each _fail In failEmailSends
vm.failEmList.Add(_fail)
Next
ViewBag.succCount = succCount.ToString
ViewBag.failECount = failEmailCount.ToString
Return View(vm)
View is as follows:
#Modeltype xxxxxxxxxxxxx
#Code
ViewData("Title") = "Mass Emails Sent"
End Code
<table>
<tr><th>Total Sent</th><td>#ViewBag.succCount</td></tr>
<tr><th>Total Fail</th><td>#ViewBag.failECount</td></tr>
<tr><th>Fail Email Addresses</th></tr>
</table>
#code
Dim grid = New WebGrid(Model.failEmList)
End Code
<div id="grid">
#grid.GetHtml(
tableStyle:="grid",
headerStyle:="head",
alternatingRowStyle:="alt",
columns:=grid.Columns(
grid.Column("failEmList", "Email List")
))
</div>
Relevant part of view Model:
Private _failEmList As New List(Of String)
Public Property failEmList() As List(Of String)
Get
Return _failEmList
End Get
Set(ByVal value As List(Of String))
_failEmList = value
End Set
End Property
Any ideas why this is throwing the following error:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code
Message=Column "failEmList" does not exist.

Answer 1

You may try the following:
#Code
Dim grid = New WebGrid(Model.failEmList)
End Code
<div id="grid">
#grid.GetHtml(
tableStyle:= "grid",
headerStyle:= "head",
alternatingRowStyle:= "alt",
columns:= grid.Columns(
grid.Column(format:= Function(item) item, header:= "Email List")
)
)
</div>

Answer 2

Try this
#grid.GetHtml(
columns: new[] {
grid.Column(format: (item) => item)
}
)

Answer 3

In case it helps someone, in my case I made a copy/paste error, and forgot to change the source when declaring the grid! Once I corrected the first column with the suggestions above, the second column threw the same error.
Dim grid = New WebGrid(Model.WasTheWrongNameHere)
