I’m using Umbraco 10. I create a Customer Document type with some fields i need to have for that page (something the content writers would enter)
On this page i have a few custom fields that i need to capture from the end user and then do a post on the form.
I create a custom customer model and add
@Html.LabelFor(c=> c.Name)
and it throws an error that the property cant be found. I then add a declaration to the top
@model Models.Customer
This resolves the above error but when the page loads it throws the error
ArgumentException: Property ‘ViewData’ is of type ‘Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures.ViewDataDictionary1[[Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.PublishedModels.Customer, CustomModels, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]', but this method requires a value of type 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures.ViewDataDictionary1[[Customer, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]’. (Parameter ‘viewContext’)
The controller it calls is inheriting from SurfaceController.
Whats going wrong here?
