Hi,

Have you included the controller file into the Visual Studio project? Check in the solution explorer - if it's a grey outline then right click and "Include in project".

Steve

Complementing the information:

In these tutorials I'm following, when the tutorial executor creates a new template, the Umbraco puts the following information:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";
}

In Umbraco 7.4.3, when we create a new template, the information entered by him change:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage<ContentModels.ContactForm>
@using ContentModels = Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels;
@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";
}

It may be that the issue that takes Umbraco to reject the @using command with the name of my project?

HI, Steve!!

Thanks for your answer. I done the Controller by VS, but I checked and the controllers is include in my project.

Hi,

Is the build action set to Compile?

(Look in the Properties).

Steve

HI,

Just comparing what you have to a working example here.

There is no need to add a @using for the My_Umbraco.Controllers - take that line out of your view.

Steve

I've seen some oddities when creating surface controllers in the past, with no real explanation as to why.

Try changing your controller declaration to:

//Remove the surface from the name of the class
public class ContactController : SurfaceController

Then try calling your action with the following:

@Html.Action("ShowForm","Contact")

Steve, than you so much for your help... You are right. After rebuild the solution, Umbraco found the controller.

Nik, after work as the solution given by Steve, I tested both forms of creation of Controller: your way to create and how I had created. Both ways worked. Thank you very much for your answer.

Thanks a both.

I do have the same problem, but in my case, there is no existing namespace declaration. I am still having this problem until now.

As what I have observed on some developers, whenever they create a new class, a namespace declaration would automatically be generated same as the name of the project.

The problem that I am now facing is that I don't know the namespace associated in this project. And even if I am going to create a namespace declaration and rebuild the project, it still won't work.

I hope you can help me with this. Thanks.

Martin, I hope you is all right!!

I don´t know if you find the solution to your problem, but look the picture, I read that you done a Controller, but not extends a SurfaceController. Look the line:

public class ContactSurfaceController

change to:

public class ContactSurfaceController: SurfaceController

is working on a reply...
