If the macro you are trying to use in the container is razor, you can try

@RenderPage("filename.cshtml", arrParams)

arrParams is an optional parameter to allow you to pass data into the razor macro.

There is some more info in the wiki: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/code-snippets/razor-snippets/@renderpage-with-args

I also found this page useful for learning about ways to structure razor code.

Troels,

until now i still have not found a (the?) way to render a macro container using razor.  This is the only thing I still use XSLT for.

How did you solved your issue?

Kind regards

Hey Damiaan 

if u are using razor and master pages (4.7 way) i used <umbraco:Item field="macroContainer"  /> 

if u are 4.10 + and use mvc u can use the @Umbraco.Field()

@Umbraco.Field("youfieldhere") works for me but as soon as I put anything in my macro that's dynamic I get the error "Error loading Partial View script"
What do I need to put in my Partial to get it to inherit from the right View?

if I render my partial directly it works.
@if (Model.Content.HasValue("macroPicker", true)){
        @Umbraco.Field("macroPicker") // doesnt work if partial contains anything dynamic
        @Html.Partial("my-partial-name") // works
}

what to do to get this to work or get a decent error message?

I got it working with the following horrible hack

@if (Model.Content.HasValue("macroPicker", true)){
        var partialName = Umbraco.Field("macroPicker").ToString();
        var trimmedPartialName = partialName.Substring(63, partialName.Length - 71); // trimming the string to get just the macro name
        @Html.Partial(trimmedPartialName)
}

How's it meant to be done properly?

Ah, ok aswering my own question here
put the following in you macro partial at the top

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

rather than the usual @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@wolulcmit - did you ever find a proper way?

@Html.Raw( Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("macroPicker") )

is working on a reply...
