In a vanilla Umbraco project, i am importing a vanilla MVC app. I am currently beeing held up, by this error:
Cannot bind source type eParser.Model.MyModel to model type MyNamespace.Controllers.ViewModel`1[[eParser.Model.MyModel, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]].
This is my code:
Local project
namespace MyNamespace.Controllers
{
public class MyOutputController : RenderMvcController
{
private static Parser _parser;
public MyOutputController()
{
_parser = new Parser(@"localfile.txt");
}
public override ActionResult Index(RenderModel model)
{
var settings = new RPSettings();
var wsParser = _parser.GetwsParser();
var result = wsParser.GetDataAsMyModel(settings);
return View("MyView", result);
}
}
public class ViewModel<TModel> : RenderModel
{
public ViewModel(RenderModel model) : base(model.Content, model.CurrentCulture) { }
public TModel MyModel { get; set; }
}
}
External project
namespace eParser
{
public class wsParser
{
public MyModel GetDataAsMyModel(RPSettings settings)
{
var model = new MyModel();
return model;
}
}
}
namespace eParser.Model
{
public class MyModel
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Value1 { get; set; }
public bool IsValid { get; set; }
}
}
Template
@using MyNamespace.Controllers
@using OtherNamespace.Models
@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<ViewModel<MyModel>>
@{
Layout = "/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; //Just <html> and very basic - no code
var addModel = new AddListViewModel
{
MyType = MyType.Value1,
MyModel = Model
};
}
<h1>@Model.Name</h1>
namespace OtherNamespace.Models
{
public class AddListViewModel
{
public string ValueName { get; set; }
public MyType MyType { get; set; }
public ViewModel<MyModel> MyModel { get; set; }
}
}
Any ideas what i could do to fix it?
Your Index method is wrong - you are passing in your model to the view but you should be passing your view model instead.
It should be:
public override ActionResult Index(RenderModel model)
{
var settings = new RPSettings();
var wsParser = _parser.GetwsParser();
var result = wsParser.GetDataAsMyModel(settings);
var viewModel = new ViewModel<MyModel>(model);
viewModel.MyModel = result;
return View("MyView", viewModel );
}
