Hi Alex I was testing it on my forside ( frontpage ) template just to see if it works.

Frontpage template code

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage<ContentModels.Forside>
@using ContentModels = Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels;
@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";
}

@Html.Partial("kontakt/_Kontakt")

This here is the form i want to show and it is also the PartialView code

@inherits UmbracoViewPage<InstallUmbraco.Models.KontaktModel>

@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm("SubmitForm", "KontaktSurface"))
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

    <div class="form-group">
        @Html.ValidationSummary()
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-xs-3">
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Fornavn)
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-9">
            @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Fornavn)
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-xs-3">
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Efternavn)
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-9">
            @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Efternavn)
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-xs-3">
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m.EmailAddresse)
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-9">
            @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.EmailAddresse)
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-xs-3">
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Besked)
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-9">
            @Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Besked)
        </div>
    </div>
    <button>Submit</button>
}

My kontaktSurfaceController code

using Umbraco.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using InstallUmbraco.Models;
using System.Net.Mail;
using WebManden.Models;

namespace InstallUmbraco.Controllers
{
    public class KontaktSurfaceController : SurfaceController
    {
        public const string PARTIAL_VIEW_FOLDER = "~/Views/Partials/kontakt/";
        public ActionResult RenderForm()
        {
            return PartialView(PARTIAL_VIEW_FOLDER + "_Kontakt.cshtml");
        }

        [HttpPost]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public ActionResult SubmitForm(KontaktModel model)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                SendEmail(model);
                TempData["ContactSuccess"] = true;
                return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
            }
            return CurrentUmbracoPage();
        }

        private void SendEmail(KontaktModel model)
        {
            MailMessage message = new MailMessage(model.EmailAddresse, "[email protected]");
            message.Subject = string.Format("Enquiry from {0} {1} - {2}", model.Fornavn, model.Efternavn, model.EmailAddresse);
            message.Body = model.Besked;
            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1", 25);
            client.Send(message);
        }
    }
}

My kontakt Model code

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace InstallUmbraco.Models
{
    public class KontaktModel
    {
        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Fornavn:")]
        public string Fornavn { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Efternavn:")]
        public string Efternavn { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [EmailAddress]
        [Display(Name = "Email Addresse:")]
        public string EmailAddresse { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Besked:")]
        public string Besked { get; set; }
    }
}

That is all my code for the contact form :D i am not sure where it goes wrong and why?
