The excerpt you have included looks ok to me providing that packing is your model.
What is in your view and layout?
Have you tried with the demo project? I have updated that with some fixes as it was not building.
I should tell more information that I saved to myself (I thought that it was enough by telling the symptom -which is that instead of the PDF i'm getting a html with that string-)
This same code was working perfectly fine (locally and also deployed in ASPHostPortal), returning the PDF as expected. Until I started doing some stuff with MVC's dlls (I tried to update from MVC 4 to 5 and then I rolled back, kindof, because it rolled back to 4.0.1, or something).
After this dll mess, it continued working fine locally (it never stopped working when going through this upgrade-downgrade thing), but when I deployed and tested, I was getting this "MvcRazorToPdf.PdfActionResult" string instead of the PDF.
When I deployed I noticed that some of my MVC dlls changed (eg. system.web.webpages.dll, etc) but, as I said, this continues to work fine locally..
Now I can really ask: Any hints?
(Sorry about not giving this information before, but as I said, the symptom is very clear and made me think it was sufficient)
At the end it was totally related to that dll mess.. I restored everything as it was (all those system.web.* dlls, the web.config, the packages file, etc) and it worked again.
@germanger Thanks, weirdly I had a bit of a dll mess last night with the system.web.*. I think it was when I switched to using VS2013 community edition. I updated the project with this.
I'm getting the string "MvcRazorToPdf.PdfActionResult" instead of the PDF itself:
My controller's code is this:
Any hints on this?
