    Converting Masterpages to Views

    Covers how you convert common syntax in Umbraco Masterpages to Umbraco Views.

    Page declaration and reference to parent template

    Masterpage

    <%@ master language="C#" masterpagefile="~/masterpages/umbMaster.master">

    Razor View

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    Layout= "~/Views/umbMaster.cshtml";
}

    Server side forms

    Masterpage

    <form runat="server">

    Razor View

    Remove, not required in views

    Content area

    Masterpage

    <asp:content contentplaceholderid="footer">
    <p>Hello</p>
</asp:content>

    Razor View

    @section footer {
    <p>Hello</p>
}

    Content placeholder

    Masterpage

    <asp:contentplaceholder id="footer">

    Razor View

    @RenderSection("footer")

    If the View that inherits from this view is not required to define a "footer" section then you can add an extra false parameter (if you omit the boolean, it defaults to true):

    @RenderSection("footer", false)

    If you want to render the main body area then you can do the following (only allowed once per View):

    @RenderBody()

    Umbraco item

    Masterpage

    <umbraco:item field="bodyText" />

    Razor View

    @CurrentPage.bodyText

    Umbraco item with parameters

    Masterpage

    <umbraco:Item field="PostDate" useIfEmpty="createDate" formatAsDate="true" runat="server" />

    Razor View

    @Umbraco.Field("PostDate", altFieldAlias: "CreateDate", formatAsDate: true)

    Umbraco Macro

    Masterpage

    <umbraco:macro alias="topNavigation" />

    Razor View

    @Umbraco.RenderMacro("topNavigation")

    Umbraco Macro with parameters

    Masterpage

    <umbraco:macro alias="topNavigation" nodeId="1082" name="John" />

    Razor View

    @Umbraco.RenderMacro("topNavigation" new{ nodeId = 1082, name="John" })

    ASP.NET Textbox Control

    Masterpage

    <asp:textbox id="tb_member" runat="server" />

    Razor View

    @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.MemberId)

    Or with some styling and a placeholder:

    @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.MemberId,
        htmlAttributes: new { @class="span9 tokeninput", placeholder="Who should be notified?" })

    Or even in mostly plain HTML:

    <input type="text" name="MemberId" value="@Model.MemberId"
    class="span9 tokeninput" placeholder="Who should be notified?" />
