    Partial View Macro Parameter Issue

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    I am trying to retrieve the macro parameter for a partial view. 

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage
@using Umbraco.Web.Models

@{
    var catID = Model.GetParameterValue<string>("CatID"); 
    <div>@catID</div>
}

    I have the parameter configured in the macro as "CatID". However, when I drop the macro on a page, and provide a value for the parameter, it always displays as blank.

    Hmm it seems like the you may want to try "catID" (no leading capitalization) for your parameter name. 

    Model.GetParameterValue<string>("catID");

    It expects the macro parameter alias, which by default I believe get camel-cased when the macro is created, so unless you went and explicitly changed it to use "CatID" I bet it will work with "catID"

    The casing probably helped. But really it had to do with the way I was calling the parameter.

    This didn't work:

    Model.GetParameterValue<string>("catID");

    But this did:

     Model.MacroParameters["catID"];
