Using Html.DisplayFor in mvc with templates

Question

I have a model

public class Person {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

and a Simple View

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IList<Site.Models.Person>>" %>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
</head>
<body>
    <% for (int i = 0 ; i < Model.Count ; i++) {  %>
        <%: Html.DisplayFor(m => m[i])%>
    <% } %>
</body>
</html>

With a Partial View

 <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<Site.Models.Person>" %>
 <h1>A person</h1>
 <div>Name: <%: Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Name)%></div>
 <div>Age: <%: Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Age)%></div>

and single Controller

public ActionResult Index () {
        Person p1 = new Person { Age = 18 , Name = "jon" };
        Person p2 = new Person { Age = 23 , Name = "bob" };

        return View(new List<Person> { p1 , p2 });
    }

The Displayfor in the view should show each person displayed with the Template specified in the partial view, but it is not. Thanks for any help

The partial view name must be Person.ascx placed in shared\DisplayTemplates folder
