    How to use custom model in macro partial?

    I have a macro where I have a contact form.

    Because the contact form uses Contact model I want my macro to be strongly typed.

    How to make the macro to accept custom model?

    This doesn't work:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage<MyWebsite.Models.ContactModel>

    It says PartialViewMacroPage cannot be used with typed arguments

    I'm using a grid and macro is inserted to the page via macro item of the grid

    I don't think a model can be passed into a macro view only macro parameters/

    If you want a strongly typed model in there you would need to call

    @Html.Action("action", "controller")

    In the macro and they work work with a strongly typed model from the returned view.

    Alternatively extend PartialViewMacroPage with your model and then inherit that? as this essentially is already the model of a UmbracoViewPage

    public abstract class PartialViewMacroPage : UmbracoViewPage<PartialViewMacroModel>
  {

    Thanks.
