asp.net-mvc - Using Business Object As Model is not working?

Question

I have probelem, when I add a class liabray to my MVC project as a business object named BusinessLayer having Employee and EmployeeBusinessLayer classes. Clicking on the add view in the index section of my home controller, then I should have Employee (BusinessLayer) as my model class. But actually, Employee (BusinessLayer) does not appear there?

I wanted to use businessobject as a model in my MVC project. I created a ClassLiabrary name BusinessLayer with two classes named Employee and EmployeeBusinessLayer. EmployeeBusinessLayer class has a property which returns employee list. After then, I created an EmployeeBusinessLayer object in my index action of my HomeController. The object return list of employee to a view. Then I right-clicked in the index section to add view. The viewname textbox already has text "Index", and I selected template as list. But the Model Class text box does only have the RouteConfig (UsingBusinessObjectAsModel), and I want that to be Employee (BusinessLayer)?

Namespace UsingBusinessObjectAsModel.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController: Controller
    {
         // GET: Home
         public ActionResult Index()
         {
             EmployeeBusinessLayer employeeBusinessLayer = new 
             EmployeeBusinessLayer();
             List<Employee> employees = 
             employeeBusinessLayer.Employees.ToList();
             return View (employees);
         }
    }
}

Here is my BusinessLayer :

namespace BusinessLayer
{
    public class EmployeeBusinessLayer
    {
        public IEnumerable<Employee> Employees
        {
            get
            {
                string connectionString = 
              ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Test"].ConnectionString;
              List<Employee> employees = new List<Employee>();

              using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
                {
                    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("spGetAllEmployees", con);
                    con.Open();
                    SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                    while (rdr.Read())
                    {
                        Employee employee = new Employee();
                        employee.Id = Convert.ToInt32(rdr["EmployeeId"]);
                        employee.Name = rdr["Name"].ToString();
                        employee.Gender = rdr["Gender"].ToString();
                        employee.City = rdr["City"].ToString();
                        employees.Add(employee);

                    }

                }
                return employees;

            }

        }
    }
}

I expect that when I right-clicked in the index action to add view and viewname and templated are selected then model class should have option for Employee (BusinessLayer) but it only have RouteConfig (UsingBusinessObjectAsModel).

Did you rebuild all projects? If Business project did not build to dll, the classes didnt show in Model list.
