    Surface controller can't find view

    Hi,

    I've created a surfacecontroller like: [PluginController("mypluginapp")] public class CartController : SurfaceController { [ChildActionOnly] public ActionResult AddToCart( int id) { AddToCartViewModel vm = new AddToCartViewModel(); vm.Name = "blahhhhh"; return PartialView(vm); }

    In my top level view I'm calling the action like:

    @Html.Action("AddToCart", "Cart", new {id = 1234})
    

    I get the error on the Html.Action that it can't find the view - it should be loading:

    ~/App_Plugins/mypluginapp/Views/Cart/AddToCart.cshtml

    The actual error is:

    The partial view 'AddToCart' was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:

    ~/Views/Cart/AddToCart.aspx

    ~/Views/Cart/AddToCart.ascx ....

    It looks like it's not searching in ~/app_plugin/..

    I'm using version 7.6.0.0

    Hi Rob

    Did you try to define full path to partial?

    return PartialView("~/App_Plugins/mypluginapp/Views/Cart/AddToCart.cshtml", vm);
    

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi,

    Yes that worked!

    Would be better without the path and the viewengine picking it up.

    Thanks for helping out!

    Thanks

    Rob
