    Doc Type Grid Editor and Models Builder

    Has anyone had any luck getting Doc Type Grid Editor to work with Models Builder?

    When I render my page I get this stack trace:

    Umbraco.Web.Mvc.ModelBindingException: Cannot bind source content type Our.Umbraco.DocTypeGridEditor.Models.DetachedPublishedContent to model type Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels.DtgeLinkGrid.

    I saw some quick fixes at https://github.com/umco/umbraco-doc-type-grid-editor/issues/44 but I can't seem to get them working.

    My view:

    @inherits UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedContent>
@if (Model != null)
{
    // cast model as the correct ContentModel
    var model = new DtgeLinkGrid(Model);
}

    What I did now as a workaround:

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage

@{
   var viewModel = null;
   if(Model != null){
       var viewModel = new DTGEModel(Model);
   }
}

    Since the constructor of the modelsbuilder modal needs IPublishedContent and the Model of DTGE is IPublishedContent it works lika a charm.

    My workaround generic class: 

    public class GridViewPage<T> : UmbracoViewPage<IPublishedContent>
        where T : IPublishedContent
    {
        private T _model;
        protected new T Model => _model != null ? _model : (_model = (T) Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T), base.Model));

        public override void Execute()
        {
        }
    }

    In partial view:

    @inherits GridViewPage<TextWithHeaderBlock>

<h3>@Model.Header</h3>

<p>@Model.Text</p>
