Hey All,

We're using EpiServer 9.8 and getting a strange error when loading our top-level category page.  What's weird about it is if you refresh the page, it works just fine and the error cannot be reproduced again until you refresh the app pool in IIS.  The error we're getting is:

"The routed data is of type 'CMS.Models.Commerce.Catalog.CategoryContentType' and the binding context data 'currentPage' is of type 'CMS.Models.Commerce.Catalog.CategoryContentType', neither of which matches the requested type 'CMS.Models.Pages.SitePageData'."

Stack trace:

[TypeMismatchException: The routed data is of type 'CMS.Models.Commerce.Catalog.CategoryContentType' and the binding context data 'currentPage' is of type 'CMS.Models.Commerce.Catalog.CategoryContentType', neither of which matches the requested type 'CMS.Models.Pages.SitePageData'.]

And here is our code for the controller's ActionResult:

namespace CMS.Controllers.Commerce
{
    public class CategoryController : ContentController
    {
        public ActionResult Index(CategoryContentType currentContent, SitePageData currentPage)
        {
            CommerceCoreRepository CommerceData = new CommerceCoreRepository(Global.DatabaseConnection.EOShared);
            CultureInfo currentCulture = ContentLanguage.PreferredCulture;
            string languageCode = currentCulture.Name;
            ViewBag.CurrentPage = currentPage;
            CategoryModel model = new CategoryModel()
            {
                Breadcrumb = new BreadcrumbModel(currentContent),
                Category = currentContent
            };
            return View("/Views/Commerce/Product/Category/Index.cshtml", model);
        }

}
}

Any insight or experience with this would be greatly appreciated, we're a bit stumped.

Thanks!

John
