Hello,

With MVC you could do an Html.Action to a surface controller: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/routing/surface-controllers

Or you could use route hijacking to have a controller before rendering a template: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/routing/custom-controllers

This example project might help: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/hybrid-framework-for-umbraco-v7

raaaa this is driving me insane! Wy is there no step-by-step tutorial to do exactly what i want!

• Partial view
• show data from a custom surfacecontroller

Ok, let me explain what I want to / need to do:

I need to have a list of items that are in a database displayed on my web form. In the old days I would have an xlst macro call some custom routine, or create a aspx usercontrol and voila done.

Now, with xslt, I think I need ta create a partialview and a custom (surface)controller+model to feed the data.

The thing is nog, that i can;t figure out how to get this done.

Please help me!

Hi Roland

I think you can use route hijacking as said Jeroen

https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/routing/custom-controllers

Use RenderController for filling page model with custom data, and then just render it in view or partial as you want.

Thanks,

Alex
