Hi all,

I am working on a package which included document types, custom section, fetching external data, ...

We have a DT called Products and a DT called Product Item which are added during the installation of the package.

We have 2 properties that are hidden for everyone, because these are populated from the external datasource during the Render process in our RenderMvcController.

public class ProductsController : RenderMvcController
{
    // Index
    public override ActionResult Index(RenderModel model)
    {
        if (model?.Content != null && model.Content.Children.Any())
        {
            foreach (var productItem in model.Content.Children)
            {
                // fill up the properties
            }
        }

        return base.Index(model);
    }
}

Inside this controller we have IPublishedContent objects which can't be changed so I need to convert them to my strongly typed models. But here I am stuck.

My package solution has 3 projects: Core - Web - Site.

Site contains the Umbraco installation, Views, ... So its basically my test environment. The Core contains the Core classes like repo, services, ... The Web contains my controllers, like the one above.

How can I access my Strongly Typed models when using ModelsBuilder and make it flexible so that whatever mode you choose, my package can access the models? I need some kind of reference to the PublishedContentModels to access my package DT classes.
