I just searched the web, for trying to help you further, and I found a relativly new blogpost from the22 Feb 14 about usingmacro-container in MVC. Maybe this can help you further.
Thanks again - I've already seen that post and I'm having a hard time believing that all this is necessary. Kind of defeats the point of the Macro Container...
Using the old umbraco.library which is still available. You can pass a macro text string and a pageid(mandatory) and it will render your macro container for you.
In my (6.1.6) application a Macro Container is used on a field in a DocumentType. The field is rendered in the MVC template with the following statement:
@Umbraco.Field("headerSection", recursive: true)
(In case you're wondering: the recursive part searches up the content tree until it finds a field with that alias)
I am currently working on a problem like this in Umbraco 7.1.4.
My site structure looks like this:
Danish company name (homepage doctype)- SubpagesLanguage version folder- English version (called EN, also homepage doctype)-- Subpages
The idea is that the webmaster manually inserts the menu on each new language he creates. With a macrocontainer, with the alias indsaetMenu, placed on the homepage doctype.
The menu renders on the frontpage, but when I navigate to a subpage the menu is gone. So my question is how do I rewrite it so it does not rely on currentpage? Or mabye it's just missing some recursive function?
Rendering Macros From Macro Container MVC
Hey
I'm trying to display a simple macro, which has been chosen in a macro container.
When using @Umbraco.Field("macroPicker") the output to the html is:
< ! --?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="SearchForm" /-->
How do I render macros from the Macro Container?
Hi Tom
You could try something like this:
The documentation about this can you find here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/partial-views
Hope this helps,

Hey Dennis - thanks for the reply.
I'm not just trying to render a macro. I'm trying to render a list of macros, which has been selected in a Macro Container property editor.

Hi Tom.
Maybe you have solved your problem by now, if not though, here's how I fixed it in Umbraco 7.
@Html.Raw(umbraco.library.RenderMacroContent(CurrentPage.textColumns, CurrentPage.Id))
Using the old umbraco.library which is still available. You can pass a macro text string and a pageid(mandatory) and it will render your macro container for you.

This works for me:
@Umbraco.RenderMacro("NameofMacro", new { Parameter = CurrentPage.Property})
