Cannot bind source type Umbraco.Web.Models.PartialViewMacroModel
I am trying to create a macro so that I can easily insert my ContactForm.cshtml partial page anywhere in a content section.
No matter how much I try the result is usually the same, either I get stuck with the page displaying "Macro alias: InsertContactForm" where the partial page should render.
I am using a seperate webservice to process the request, so I have javascript that validates and sends the information. I am not using a controller or model.
I see this error:
Error loading Partial View (file: ~/Views/MacroPartials/InsertContactForm.cshtml). Exception: Umbraco.Web.Mvc.ModelBindingException: Cannot bind source type Umbraco.Web.Models.PartialViewMacroModel to model type Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel.

My InsertContactForm.cshtml (under macro partials)
I am still learning, perhaps macro's are not meant to be used this way. Regardless I figured that the point of a macro was to be reusable, and in this case the contact form is not intended to be reused.
So what I did instead was delete the macro stuff and simply created a template and added it to the optional templates on my landing page document type and selected the new template for use on that specific page. In the template I included an Html.Partial which added my partial .cshtml page to the end of the document.
A late reply, but hopefully helpful for anyone else who experiences this problem.
Instead of using @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage, as this is what's causing the conflict between this and Umbraco.Web.Models.PartialViewMacroModel
If you leave out the 'inherits' bit all together, you can initialise
var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
and call
umbracoHelper.TypedContent(xxxx) instead of Umbraco.TypedContent(xxxx) ... for instance
umbracoHelper gives you access to all the same functionality as you get by inheriting the model through @inherits
