Hi Pat

Can you share the code of form and surface controller?

namespace myumbracoMVC.Controllers
{
    public class ContactUsController:SurfaceController
    {

        [ChildActionOnly]
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return PartialView("ContactUs", new ContactUsModel());
        }



        [HttpPost]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        [ActionName("Submit")]
        public ActionResult Submit(ContactUsModel model)
        {
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                return CurrentUmbracoPage();
            }
            MailMessage emailmsg = new MailMessage("my@mydomain", "info@mydomain");
            emailmsg.Subject = "message from webSite contact form ";
            emailmsg.Body = "Name : " + model.Name + Environment.NewLine + " Email : " + model.Email + Environment.NewLine + " Telephone : " + model.Telephone + Environment.NewLine + model.Message;
            try
            {
                SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
                smtp.Send(emailmsg);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

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

    }
}

I have seen this topics about routing for controllers which I didn't get properly.

hi this is my form

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<myumbracoMVC.Models.ContactUsModel>
@using Umbraco.Web
@{
    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("Submit", "ContactUsController"))
    {

        @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
        @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
        <br/>
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { placeholder = "Your Name" })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
        <br/>
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email, new { placeholder = "Email" })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email)
        <br/>
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Telephone, new { placeholder = "Telephone" })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Telephone)
        <br/>
        @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message, new { placeholder = "Message" })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Message)
        <br/>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    }


}

There is a nuget package called routedebugger that is pretty helpful in identifying issues like this.

Can you change your Index method to see what happens when you use:

return PartialView("~/views/partials/ContactUs.cshtml", new ContactUsModel());

If that does not work either, can you show the code of the macro's MacroPartials view?

hi Micha, I have tried above and my partial View Macro File is ready as below.

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
    @using myumbracoMVC.Models
@{ Html.RenderPartial("~/Views/Partials/ContactUs.cshtml", new ContactUsModel());}

I have created macro and set above script. still get same error.

Hi Pat

Did you build you solution?

Where is your controller code placed?

Is it website?

If you want to call the surface controller's Index method, the partial view macro page should look like this:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

@Html.Action("Index", "ContactUs")

Hi Alex, you were correct in earlier, I need to call contactuscontroller in view beginumbracoform

but I was struggling as I just tried ContactUsController in

@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<ContactUsController>("Submit", FormMethod.Post))

As I have copied .dll I need give full path for it ... as below

   using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<myumbracoMVC.Controllers.ContactUsController>("Submit", "ContactUsController",FormMethod.Post))   

just released this after reading Shannon Deminick reply on below post

https://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/38662-v6-Could-not-find-a-Surface-controller-route-error?p=0

thanks for your support big relief :)

Alex
