Hello All,

In my umbraco mvc project, I am trying to validate form with serverside validation.

Controller code:

    public ActionResult BookRequest(BookRequest model)
    {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
               db.BookRequests.Add(model);
               db.SaveChanges();  
            }
            return View();
    }

Model is,

 public class BookRequest
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your name")]
    public string Name{ get; set; }

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your email")]
    public string Email { get; set; }      
}

Umbraco page

  @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
  @{
       Layout = "Master.cshtml";
   }

    <div class="maindiv">
         @Umbraco.RenderMacro("Headmenu",new ViewDataDictionary{})
    </div>

Partial View

 @model MvcApplication2.Models.BookRequest
  <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
  <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js"></script>

  @using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<MvcApplication2.Controllers.BookRequestController>("BookRequest"))
  {
     @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

      @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name,new { @class = "input",@placeholder="Name"})
      @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)       

      @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ContactName,new { @class = "input",@placeholder="Email"})
      @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email)
      <input type="submit" class="button" value="Send Enquiry" />

  }

Saving to database works fine. However, Validation is not showing up. For that, it needs to return model from controller

return View(model);

when i add above code following error occurs,

 The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'MvcApplication2.Models.BookRequest'.

How can i solve this? Please help,

Thanks
