Hi,

Based on a couple of guides I found I have created a model and controller in my app_code directory, but they crash my site. I've been looking at them for a while now, but I don't know enough to work out what's going wrong.

Model: ContactFormViewModel.cs

 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Linq;
 using System.Web;

namespace ClearviewForm.Models
{
public class ContactFormViewModel {


    public string Name { get; set; }


    public string Email { get; set; }


    public string Message { get; set; }
}
}

Controller: ContactFormController.cs

using ClearviewForm.Models;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Umbraco.Web.Mvc;

namespace ClearviewForm.Controllers
{
public class ContactFormController : SurfaceController
{

    /// <summary>
    /// Renders the Contact Form
    /// @Html.Action("RenderContactForm","ContactFormSurface");
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public ActionResult RenderContactForm()
    {
        //Return a partial view ContactForm.cshtml in /views/ContactForm/ContactForm.cshtml
        //With an empty/new ContactFormViewModel
        return PartialView("ContactForm", new ContactFormViewModel());
    }

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult HandleContactForm(ContactFormViewModel model)
    {
        //Check if the data posted is valid (All required's & email set in email field)
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            //Not valid - so lets return the user back to the view with the data they entered still prepopulated
            return CurrentUmbracoPage();
        }

        //Generate an email message object to send
        MailMessage email   = new MailMessage(model.Email, "[email protected]");
        email.Subject       = "Contact Form Request";
        email.Body          = model.Message;

        try
        {
            //Connect to SMTP credentials set in web.config
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

            //Try & send the email with the SMTP settings
            smtp.Send(email);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            //Throw an exception if there is a problem sending the email
            throw ex;
        }

        //Update success flag (in a TempData key)
        TempData["IsSuccessful"] = true;

        //All done - lets redirect to the current page & show our thanks/success message
        return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage();
    }
  }
}

Any help gratefully appreciated,

Cheers, Alistair
