Avoid runtime errors by using View helpers strongly bound to your models

StronglyTypedViews

Avoid runtime error "The model item passed into the dictionary is of type ‘X’ but this dictionary requires a model item of type ‘Y‘".

e.g instead of:

public ViewResult GetProduct(int id)
{
    return View("GetProduct", id);
}

with StronglyTypedViews you can write

    public ViewResult GetProduct(int id)
    {
        return MVCStronglyTypedViews.Areas.Administration.Management.GetProduct(id);
    }

The template generates truly strongly typed views to use in your controllers with zero configuration.

Only C# is supported for now.

The template discovers referenced namespaces in .cshtml files, base types (int, bool, String, etc..) and user made classes will work without configuration.

If the template gives build errors due to undiscovered namespaces,either:

-Write the fully qualified name of the model to the view(i.e: @model System.Text.StringBuilder)

or

-Add the required namespace to the view:

@using System.Text;

Input

-Areas -Administration -Views -Management -GetProduct.cshtml

@model int
<p>@Model</p>

How to use

1-Run template 2-Build Project

In controllers:

    public ViewResult GetProduct(int id)
    {
        return MVCStronglyTypedViews.Areas.Administration.Management.GetProduct(id);
    }

to return as Partial View:

	public virtual PartialViewResult Edit(int id)
    {
        var viewResult = MVCStronglyTypedViews.Areas.Administration.Management.GetProduct(id);
        return MVCStronglyTypedViews.ControllerExtensions.PartialView(viewResult);
    }

In views:

    @{
		Html.RenderPartial(MVCStronglyTypedViews.Areas.Administration.Management.GetProduct(90)); 
     }
