    Errors applying a "Layout" to an Umbraco MVC View

    Hi all,

    I am trying to apply a "Layout" to an MVC View called from an Umbraco Surface Controller. But when I add the following to be beginning of the file:

    @{
Layout = "TTMaster.cshtml";
}

    I get the following exception error:

        The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'MyProject.Models.TT_ViewProfile.ViewProfileViewModel', 
but this dictionary requires a model item of 
type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel'.

    My Controller calls the view with this:

            return View("ViewProfile", viewProfileViewModel);

    and below is the source for the View. Any help would be appreciated.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<ViewProfileViewModel>

@{
    Layout = "TTMaster.cshtml";
}


@using TeraTastic.Models.TT_ViewProfile
<div class="container">
    <!-- Example row of columns -->
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-12">
            @*style="background-color:aquamarine">*@
            <h3>TeraTastic Profile</h3>
        </div>
    </div>


    <h2>View Profile</h2>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-9">

    I still have a problem with this, but here is some more information:

    Note that this page uses a custom route.

    Also, when I remove the following from my Layout Page (and move the Layout Page into my Views folder) the page works:

    inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

    it seems that this is conflicting with the following in my View page:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage

    However removing "inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage" from my master Layout page will break the Umbraco pages and I want to have one Layout Template page for my whole site (both Umbraco Pages and pages with custom route pages) is that possible ?

    Thanks again

    Two ways I understand to get around this problem

    Either make an Umbrcao Template and use the method:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<[your model here]>

    Or from your controller use TempData["mod"] = [your model variable] example below

    MyProject.Models.TT_ViewProfile.ViewProfileViewModel model1 = new MyProject.Models.TT_ViewProfile.ViewProfileViewModel();
TempData["Mod"] = model1;

    then in the page you can unpack it:

    MyProject.Models.TT_ViewProfile.ViewProfileViewModel model1 = TempData["Mod"];
