Hi there,

I'm new to the newer versions of Umbraco but quite familiar with old versions. I'm using U10.4.

Essentially, all I'm trying to do is have a set of forms using a custom view model. For this area I don't need any IPublishedContent data, but I'd like to keep the CurrentUmbracoPage() method so I'm using a surface controller.

I am struggling to get it to post to the surfacecontroller using my custom view model. I have tried many solutions.

Can somebody tell me the best approach?

My view model?

 public partial class RegistrationViewModel : PublishedContentWrapped//RegistrationPage
{
    public RegistrationViewModel(IPublishedContent content, IPublishedValueFallback publishedValueFallback) : base(content, publishedValueFallback)
    {
    }

As you see I've tried extending both PublishedContentWrapper and the generated content model.

My controller:

[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
public async Task<IActionResult> Register(RegistrationViewModel page)
{
}

I'm using BeginUmbracoForm for routing

 using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<RegistrationPageSurfaceController>     ("Register"))
{
}

Can somebody tell me how to post to a surface controller with a custom view model?

The error i get is Cannot bind source content type Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.PublishedModels.RegistrationPage to model type GloucestershireCollege.ViewModels.RegistrationViewModel. Even if i set the constructor to be RegistrationViewModel

Thanks!
