Good Evening,

I am currently developing some functionality within Umbraco and have a question regarding Surface Controllers.

I would like to basically return my own Model into a View created within Umbraco.

For example

I have created a DocumentType of "Home" and a Template of "Home" within the backend and I have a SurfaceControler then returns the below.

return View("~/Views/Home.cshtml", model);

Error I'm getting is

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

I can use

@Html.Action("Name", "Names") and this works fine.

So basically I need to be able to pass my "Namespace.Model" into a normal Umbraco created View.

@model Namespace.ViewModels.NameViewModel

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@using ContentModels = Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels;

I hope this makes sense.

Thank you. Alex
