Hi, try using RouteTable.Routes.MapUmbracoRoute

Or, depending on what you're trying to do you might not even need to register custom routes at all and a SurfaceController or RenderMvcController in your assembly is all you need.

Take a look at the documentation here: https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Routing/

Hi Dibs,

is the controller a umbraco type controller? So SurfaceController or RenderMvcController?

Think if you are using a SurfaceController you also have to use an additional interface. Don't remember the name right now.

If you are using normal mvc stuff it could be that you have to tell umbraco to not try to map the url to content by adding it to the umbracoReservedUrls app setting.

Hi David/Gary

I'm trying to follow MVC protocol to implement a custom controller, which has both custom model and partial view. My end goal is to make use of the partial view in multiple Umbraco template views.

The controller has an action method to return a list of published content, i would like to make use of this action method in more then one template via:

@{Html.Render action("Action","Controller")}

This works when i make the controller inherit from SurfaceController:

public class MyController : SurfaceController
    {
        // GET: 
        public ActionResult MyAction()
        {
            var rl = new MyModel(CurrentPage);
            rl.rootList = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().First().Children;
            return PartialView("MyModel", rl);
        }
    }

When i inherit from RenderMvcController

 public class MyController : RenderMvcController
    {
        // GET: 
        public ActionResult MyAction(RenderModel model)
        {
            var rl = new MyModel(model.Content);
            rl.rootList = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().First().Children;
            return PartialView("MyView", rl);
        }
    }

I get the no route error BSOD message
