The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation.RenderingModel', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'xxx.models.Sitecore.IPage'.
I get above error if I statically load this like:
@Html.Sitecore().ViewRendering("~/Views/xxx/Generic/PageIntro.cshtml")
If I create a "View Rendering" item in Sitecore and load it from Presentation Details dynamically it works okay.
View I am trying to load "PageIntro" is a GlassView
Why is this?
A View Rendering must always declare a Model of type RenderingModel which is the default used by Sitecore and that's the only type that will be returned if you use @Html.Sitecore().ViewRendering("").
My guess is that your View ~/Views/xxx/Generic/PageIntro.cshtml defines a Glass Model as the model type being returned.
Instead you should be using a Controller Rendering. To do that, I would recommend that you use `@Html.Sitecore().Rendering("{Guid of Defined Controller Rendering In Sitecore}")
Then define in your controller rendering definition in Sitecore a Controller and Action that will be used to build that custom model used by your view.
@Html.Partial("~/Views/xxx/Generic/PageIntro.cshtml", Model)assuming that Model is the same what is defined in the containing page.
