    How to render field inside Umbraco Form

    Umbraco Forms
    Umbraco 7

    I have installed Umbraco form and now want to output the field content inside Form.cshtml as follows

    @Umbraco.Field("aboutUs")

    This keeps throwing errors. How do i go round this?

    Hi Dem Muk.

    So the reason you cant use the @Umbraco.Field is because Form.cshtml does not inherit UmbracoViewPage or UmbracoTemplatePage but instead it has a model of Umbraco.Forms.Mvc.Models.FormViewModel, so you cant get the UmbracoHelper without declaring it yourself.

    However, this can be done quite easy. Add this to the Form.cshtml file:

    @{
    var umbracoHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
}

@(umbracoHelper.Field("aboutUs"))

    Best of luck to you!!
