Hi guys,

I'm finally working on an Umbraco 7 project (hooray!) but just spend some time investigating a surface controller for which the model went missing after HTTP POST. In the controller action the view model returned would always be NULL:

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult HandleFormSubmit(PublicationFormViewModel model)
    {

    }

After tripple-checking my setup everything seemed to be in place so I started removing some fields from the form in the view, and it turns out a property named "Model" of type int is the culprit:

public class PublicationFormViewModel
{
    public int Model { get; set; }
}

Once I renamed this property, the view model is passed to the controller correctly after post.

So I was wondering, is this some kind of built-in property used by ASP.NET MVC or Umbraco?

Thanks Lennart
