I feel like a total idiot but for the life of me can't figure out what the heck I am missing here.
I have the following:
@section TopPane { @*@{Html.Action("_OpenIDSignInPartial", "Account");}*@
@{Html.RenderAction("_OpenIDSignInPartial", "Account");}
Sign-in with your mysite.com account or Register for an account @{Html.RenderPartial("_LoginPartial");} @{Html.RenderPartial("_RegisterPartial");}}
As you can see I have 3 Partial Views being rendered. Now for the Controller Code----
public class AccountController : Controller { private readonly IAuthenticationService _authenticationService; OpenIdRelyingParty _openIdRelyingParty = new OpenIdRelyingParty(null); public AccountController(IAuthenticationService authenticationService) { _authenticationService = authenticationService; } public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } public ActionResult SignIn() { return View(); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult SignIn(AccountSignInViewModel accountSignInViewModel) { return View(); } public ActionResult OpenIdSignIn() { AccountIndexViewModel accountIndexViewModel = new AccountIndexViewModel(); IAuthenticationResponse authenticationResponse = _openIdRelyingParty.GetResponse(); switch (authenticationResponse.Status) { case AuthenticationStatus.Authenticated: try { var claimedIdentifier = authenticationResponse.ClaimedIdentifier.ToString(); _authenticationService.OpenIdSignIn(claimedIdentifier); } catch (Exception) { // Do something with this man! throw; } break; case AuthenticationStatus.Canceled: accountIndexViewModel.openIdSignInViewModel.ErrorMessage = "An Error Message"; break; } return View("SignIn",accountIndexViewModel); // ALWAYS an ERROR } [HttpPost] public ActionResult OpenIdSignIn(AccountOpenIdSignInViewModel accountOpenIdSignInViewModel) { IAuthenticationResponse authenticationResponse = _openIdRelyingParty.GetResponse(); if (authenticationResponse == null) { Identifier identifier; if (Identifier.TryParse(accountOpenIdSignInViewModel.openid_identifier, out identifier)) { try { IAuthenticationRequest request = _openIdRelyingParty.CreateRequest(accountOpenIdSignInViewModel.openid_identifier); return request.RedirectingResponse.AsActionResult(); } catch (ProtocolException protocolException) // Prolly should add some errors to the model { ModelState.AddModelError("openid_identifier","Unable to authenticate"); return View("SignIn"); } } } return View(); } public ActionResult _OpenIDSignInPartial(AccountOpenIdSignInViewModel accountOpenIdSignInViewModel) { return PartialView("_OpenIdSignInPartial"); } } When I reurn the view from the OpenIdSignIn ActionResult() I get the following error The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Web.ViewModels.AccountIndexViewModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'Web.ViewModels.AccountSignInViewModel'. Ok great so I will return a AccountSignInViewModel right?? Then I get an error saying it needs the AccountIndexViewModel... CATCH 22 here.
