Hello, 

I am using zbuModelBuilder to generate my Models. I am trying to use a BaseController that handles all the common elements (e.g. Page title, pageName etc).

In my baseController I have a function called createViewModel that creates the generic T style model below is that function

        protected T CreateViewModel<T>(RenderModel model) where T : new(){

var viewModel = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T), model);

            return viewModel;

        }

Now in my HomeController that extends from BaseController I am trying to call this function like so

 public override ActionResult Index(RenderModel model)

        {  var viewModel = CreateViewModel<Home>(model);

            return CurrentTemplate(viewModel);

        }

but keep getting the following error

 must be a non-abstract type with a public parameterless constructor in order to use it as parameter 'T' in the generic type or method
