copied!<p>I dug into MVC and Umbraco a bit more and created a solution that does use a custom controller. The basic appraoch is this.</p> <p>Create a Model in the Models folder of your project</p> <pre><code>namespace MyProject.Models { public class MenuModel { // My Model contains just a set of IPublishedContent items, but it can // contain anything you like public IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> Items { get; set; } } } </code></pre> <p>Create a new partial view in the Views > Shared folder</p> <pre><code>@inherits UmbracoViewPage @{ Layout = null; } <ul> @* Iterate over the items and print a link for each one *@ @foreach (var page in Model.Items) { <li><a href="@page.Url()">@page.Name</a></li> } </ul> </code></pre> <p>Create a SurfaceController to perform some business logic like fetching nodes and building the Model</p> <pre><code>using System.Web.Mvc; using MyProject.Models; using Umbraco.Core; using Umbraco.Web; using Umbraco.Web.Models; using Umbraco.Web.Mvc; namespace MyProject.Controllers { public class NavMenuController : SurfaceController { public ActionResult Render(RenderModel some) { // Get the current homepage we're under (my site has multiple, because it is multi-language) var currentHomePage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1); // Create model object var menuModel = new MenuModel(); // Select descendant "Artikel" nodes of the current homepage and set them on the menu model menuModel.Items = currentHomePage.Descendants("Artikel").Where(x => x.IsVisible()); // Return the partial view called NavMenu // Do any processing you like here... return PartialView("NavMenu", menuModel); } } } </code></pre> <p>Call your new partial view from anywhere using this line of code:</p> <pre><code>@Html.Action("Render", "NavMenu") </code></pre> <p>I also posted this on our.umbraco.org:</p> <p><a href="http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/45339-Umraco-6-Looking-for-the-MVC-equivalent-of-codebehind-file?p=0#comment163126" rel="nofollow">http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/45339-Umraco-6-Looking-for-the-MVC-equivalent-of-codebehind-file?p=0#comment163126</a></p>
