Answer 1

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'Develosoft4.Models.Cita', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'Develosoft4.Models.CitaFormViewModel'

It looks like you are returning the wrong model type from an action method.

//This is where I think the error is. It is expecting a CityFormViewModel instead of a Cita object
return View(citaModel);

Answer 2

Your trying to pass your model an object of type Develosoft4.Models.Cita when it is expecting an object of type Develosoft4.Models.CitaFormViewModel.

You probably have a strongly typed view so you need to pass it the type it is expecting.

Check your controller when you should have something like this at the end:

return View(new Develosoft4.Models.CitaFormViewModel()
    {
        // initializers
    });

No idea what you code actually looks like so this is stab in the dark :)

EDIT: Based on the code you added, it looks like your Post version of Create is returning the wrong type to the view.

You are doing this:

return View(cita); 

When your Create view is expecting a CitaFormViewModel so you should probably be doing:

return View(new CitaFormViewModel(cita));

Just lke you did in the Get version of the Create view.
