Question

I have this post method:

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult Invitations(SuperInvitationsEditModel model)
    {
        ...

        var newmodel = new SuperInvitationsEditModel();

        if (hasErrors)
        {
            SuperInvitationsErrorModel newErrorModel = new SuperInvitationsErrorModel();
            newErrorModel.Errors = model.Errors;
            return View(newErrorModel);
        }

        return View(newmodel);
        }

When this code in the if(hasErrors) executes I get this error.

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'MyProject.Models.SuperInvitationsErrorModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'MyProject.Models.SuperInvitationsEditModel'.

I thought I can do this since the return value of the method is a generic ActionResult. Can anyone tell me why is this not working?

Answer 1

because your current view is strongly typed. change the code as

 return View("yourviewname",newErrorModel);
