I have a template with field of type treelist which holds images, i want to read this field in my view rendering (.cshtml file) and loop over the images and display each one in an tag. How can i do that?

Here is my code for reading from treelist: (this code was working fine when my view was a controller rendering, however when i tried to add a view rendering it gives me error: Inner Exception: The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation.RenderingModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'Sitecore.Data.Items.Item'. )

@model Sitecore.Data.Items.Item
@using Sitecore.Data.Fields
@using Sitecore.Data.Items
@using Sitecore.Resources.Media
@{
    Layout = null;
}

  • Why move from a controller rendering to a view rendering?

You should use the Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation.RenderingModel as your model and then retrieve a Sitecore context item from it, rather then defining the Sitecore.Data.Items.Item as a model.

So, you should change your model definition to this:

@model Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation.RenderingModel

P.S. Your question is covered quite well by this community forum q/a: https://community.sitecore.net/developers/f/8/t/109

Personally, I recommend looking through the community forum or Sitecore KB before submitting a question.
