I have a page with local block

[ContentType(GUID = "d9298163-9046-4bd1-9ff1-81e5abb83a80", AvailableInEditMode = true)]
public class StartPage : BasePageData
{
private const string LeftNavigationMenu = "Left Navigation";

[CultureSpecific(true)]
[Display(GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content, Order = 50)]
public virtual ContentArea MainContentAreaTop { get; set; }

[CultureSpecific(true)]
[Display(GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content, Order = 60)]
public virtual ContentArea MainContentArea { get; set; }

[Display(GroupName = FooterSettingsBlock.FooterTab, Order = 100)]
public virtual FooterSettingsBlock FooterSettings { get; set; }

And I try to render partial view and send to view FooterSettings:

@{
Html.RenderPartial("Shared/Footer", @Model.SiteSettings.MySiteSettingsPage.SiteStartPage.ToPage<StartPage>().FooterSettings);
}

I have a logic in StartPageController:

public class StartPageController : BasePageController<StartPage>
{[HttpPost]

public ActionResult Subscribe(SubscriptionViewModel model)
{
return Redirect("/");
}
}

and try to call this method from partial Footer view:

@model Valtech.Core.Website.Models.Blocks.FooterSettingsBlock

<div>
<h3>@Html.PropertyFor(m => m.SubscriptionHeading)</h3>

@Html.Partial("shared/Subscription", new SubscriptionViewModel {CurrentBlock=Model})
</div>

Subscription partial view:

@model Valtech.Core.Website.Models.ViewModels.SubscriptionViewModel

@using (Html.BeginForm("Subscribe", "StartPage", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "subscribeForm" }))
{
<input name="Email" id="userEmail" type="text" placeholder="@Model.CurrentBlock.EnterEmailText"/>
<a href="javascript:document.getElementById('subscribeForm').submit()">@Model.CurrentBlock.SubmitText</a>
}

When I click my link, I get TypeMismatchException and this stackTraice:

Not sure about Html.RenderPartial(). Haven't tried it with local blocks.

Try following:

@Html.PropertyFor(m => m.SiteSettings.MySiteSettingsPage.SiteStartPage.ToPage<StartPage>().FooterSettings)

Then it depends on what you need to accomplish.

1) If you don't need a controller for your block type -> then just name your view tha same name as block - FooterSettings.cshtml. This will tell EPiServer to skip any controllers and render view directly.

2) If you need custom logic (like construct custom view model) you may need a controller for this block.

public class FooterSettingsBlockController : BlockController<FooterSettingsBlock>
{
    public ActionResult(FooterSettingsBlock currentBlock)
    {
        return PartialView(".....", model);
    }
}

Keep in mind that using second choice you need to rename view in order to EPiServer understand that you need a controller for your block. A good practice is to start those partial views with underscrore - "_" -> "/Views/Shared/_FooterSettings.cshtml".
