Hey everyone, i'm currently struggling with the modelsbuilder. My problem is that i have a class BusinessArea which is generated from the modelsbuilder. But when i create a partial class named BusinessArea which should extend the generated one, it does not work / recognize. Where could the problem be?

Maybe you should use your own namespace and not try to put it in Umbraco's namespace. This will add an extra

using

where you need it but that shouldn't be a problem.

Hey @Sebastiaan Thanks for your Reply. When i put it in a separate namespace it won't find the property Name:

What models builder mode are you using?

@Matt Wise I'm using the standard version.

Sure, but how is it configured was the question 😉 https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/configuration/modelsbuildersettings#models-mode

Sorry bout that... this is my config 🙂 "ModelsBuilder": { "ModelsMode": "SourceCodeAuto", "FlagOutOfDateModels": true },

How does your solution look? Do you have just a single project, or do you have more than one? We typically have a code project and a web project. The two parts of a partial class needs to be in the same project.

We just have one solution currently. The new extending class is inside the /models/businessArea.cs

And are the generated models in the same project?

yes they are in the same project

Sounds like it should be working no spelling mistakes in the class name?

no there are no spelling mistakes :/

You will want to match the models builder classes namespace

Matt this was the final hint! 🙂 Thanks alot it works now 🙂 i've already used this namespace but i didn't know that the hot reload dont works 😦
