Try with currentBlock instead of blockData

David, that post is from the old TAP forums, which is not open to everyone :-)

Sandeep: For Episerver controllers, the model binder will check and see if the name of the parameter is currentPage/currentBlock/currentContent. If it is, it will get the current content from the routeData. So, as Dejan says, changing the parameter name to currentBlock should do the trick

Good point Per, the post was from 2013 so thought we might have opened them by now ;)

Maybe add a warning in log if a controller method (that inherits from Episervers base controllers) contains a parameter that inherits from IContent but isn't named correctly?
