Hi

Ive got an umbraco page which is using a childaction partial to render a form. This is working fine but the model passed it always empty. Can someone help

Here is what i have

Umbraco Page:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";
}

@Html.Partial("~/Views/Apply/Index.cshtml", new ApplyViewModel())

Partial view:

@inherits UmbracoViewPage<ApplyViewModel>

@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<ApplyController>("HandleApplyForm", FormMethod.Post, new {@enctype = "multipart/form-data"}))
            {
                @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
                @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
                <div class="row">
                    <div class="col-sm-6">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name)
                            @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name, new { placeholder = "Your Name", @class = "form-control" })
                            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-6">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Telephone)
                            @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Telephone, new { placeholder = "Your Telephone Number", @class = "form-control" })
                            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Telephone)
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-6">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email)
                            @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email, new { placeholder = "Your Email Address", @class = "form-control" })
                            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email)
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-12">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <label>Upload your CV (Microsoft Word doc, docx, pdf files under 1MB size only)</label>
                            <input id="CV" name="CV" type="file" class="form-control"/>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-12">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Message)
                            @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message, new { placeholder = "Your Message", @class = "form-control" })
                            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Message)

                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-12 text-center">
                        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i> Apply</button>
                    </div>
                </div>
            }

Controller:

 [ChildActionOnly]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return PartialView();
    }

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult HandleApplyForm(ApplyViewModel model)
    {
        //Check if the dat posted is valid (All required's & email set in email field)
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            //Not valid - so lets return the user back to the view with the data they entered still prepopulated
            TempData.Add("MyModel", model);
            return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
        }

ViewModel:

public class ApplyViewModel : RenderModel
{
    public ApplyViewModel() : base(UmbracoContext.Current.PublishedContentRequest.PublishedContent, UmbracoContext.Current.PublishedContentRequest.Culture)
{

    }

    [Required]
    public string Name;

    public string Email;

    public string Telephone;

    [Required]
    public string Vacancy;

    [Required] public string Message;

    public string Url;

    public HttpPostedFileBase CV { get; set; }

}

The model properties are always null (apart from the CV file upload but assuming it gets this from the request object). Can someone help me please? Been tearing my hair out with this since 6am this morning
