Hi Pat,

Can you show what do you inherit in your view? Show please top part of view.

THanks,

Alex

I have below in my view I cannot add both inherits and model in view it give me error. After adding Umbraco.Web BeginUmbracoForm problem solved but still form not display on page. log file say Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.PartialViewMacroModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'iccoukumbracoMVC.Models.ContactFormViewModel'.

`@using Umbraco.Web @@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage@ @model ContactFormViewModel

@{ Html.EnableClientValidation(true); Html.EnableUnobtrusiveJavaScript(true); }

@if (Convert.ToBoolean(TempData["IsSuccessful"])) {

<h2>Request Sent</h2>
<p>Thank you for contacting us, we will get back to you soon.</p>

} else { using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm

    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

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

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

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

    @Html.TextAreaFor(model=> model.Message , new { placeholder = "Message"})
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Message)
    <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
}

}`

Hi Pat,

Try to remove

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage

Leave like that:

@using Umbraco.Web
@model CommentViewModel

@{ Html.EnableClientValidation(true); Html.EnableUnobtrusiveJavaScript(true); }

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

still get error Error loading Partial View (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/ContactForm.cshtml). Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.PartialViewMacroModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'iccoukumbracoMVC.Models.ContactFormViewModel'.

I have copied my dll file into bin folder of website hope that is correct ?

I refereed this article https://creativewebspecialist.co.uk/2013/07/22/umbraco-mvc-what-on-earth-is-a-surface-controller/

Hi Pat,

Can you show how did you call you partial?

Maybe you just pass wrong model?

THanks,

Alex

Hi thanks for helping

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace myumbracoMVC.Models
{
    public class ContactFormViewModel
    {
        [Required]
        public string Name { get; set; }
        [Required]
        [EmailAddress]
        public string Email { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public string Telephone { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public string Message { get; set; }

    }
}

and in my controller.cs file

using System.Web.Mvc;
using Umbraco.Web.Mvc;
using System.Net.Mail;

namespace myumbracoMVC.Controllers
{
    public class ContactFormSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        public ActionResult RenderContactForm()
        {
            return PartialView("ContactForm", new ContactFormViewModel());
        }



        [System.Web.Mvc.HttpPost]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public ActionResult SubmitContactForm(ContactFormViewModel model )
        {
            if(!ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                return CurrentUmbracoPage();
            }
            MailMessage emailmsg = new MailMessage("email@domain", "emailxx@domain");
            emailmsg.Subject = "WebSite contact form request";
            emailmsg.Body ="Name : " + model.Name  + Environment.NewLine + " Email : " + model.Email + " Telephone : " + model.Telephone +   model.Message;
            try
            {
                SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
                smtp.Send(emailmsg);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }
            TempData["IsSuccessful"] = true;
            return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
        }

    }
}
