I am trying to create a surface controller using this video but for some reason it won't handle my posts. this is my controller code:

public class ContactFormController : SurfaceController { // // GET: /ContactForm/

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return PartialView("ContactForm", new ContactFormViewModel());
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult FormSubmit(ContactFormViewModel model)
    {
        return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
    }
}

this is my cshtml code:

@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<SurfaceControllersSample.Controllers.ContactFormController>("FormSubmit"))
{
    <div>
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name, new { placeholder = "Name" })
    </div>
    <div>
        @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Email, new { placeholder = "Email" })
    </div>
    <div>
        @Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Message, new { placeholder = "Message" })
    </div>
    <div>
        <button id="submit">Send</button>
    </div>
}

it will go to the "Index" method but not the "FormSumbit" Method. Any ideas?

Hi Moran,

I believe you should change your class name from ContactFormController to ContactFormSurfaceController and also in your cshtml file
```
@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<SurfaceControllersSample.Controllers.ContactFormSurfaceController>("FormSubmit"))
```
hope that helps.

Cheers

Ali

Hi Thanks, I named it something else and forgot to attach the code for the most important thing, my controller :) here it is:

public class ContactFormController : SurfaceController
{
    //
    // GET: /ContactForm/

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return PartialView("ContactForm", new ContactFormViewModel());
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult FormSubmit(ContactFormViewModel model)
    {
        return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
    }
}

Even if I tried to insert a breaking point in the FormSubmit, But it won't get there.

Seems good :) but make sure you are running in MVC mode and the template you are outputting the form on is a razor view and not a .net masterpage

And make sure you don't have nested forms...

Hi Moran,

The controller's name must be suffixed with the term 'SurfaceController' based on this page:

@Ali Don't think that's mandatory...

Ok So I just need to rename my 'ContactFormController' to 'ContactFormSurfaceController'? I did that and updated my code accordingly but still no post :( this is my code in the master page maybe I need to call the FormSumbit method also
```
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";
}
<h1>@CurrentPage.Name</h1>
@Html.Action("Index", "ContactFormSurface")
```
