Version information: Mono Version: 2.0.50727.1433; ASP.NET Version:
2.0.50727.1433

Expected Results:  
A table displaying a list of cultures

There's a workaround for this. Just change the type in Cultures.aspx to be
List<System.Globalization.CultureInfo> instead and in the
HomeController.Cultures() method change the line returning View to

return
View(CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures).OrderBy(x=>x.DisplayName).ToList<CultureInfo>());
