MVC Template not linking to page type.

I have a pagetype in a seperate assembly to my website, the pagetype is as follows

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using BaseContentTypes.Models.Blocks;
using EPiServer;
using EPiServer.DataAbstraction;

namespace BaseContentTypes.Models.Pages
{
    [AdaptiveContentType(GUID = "{3FF66761-4DF8-4D12-98DB-74402B0E586A}", DisplayName = "Article Page")]
    public class ArticlePage : TwoColumnPage
    {
        [Display(Name = "Contributor",
          GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
          Order = 10)]
        public virtual string Contributor { get; set; }

        [Display(Name = "Profile Page",
          GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
          Order = 20)]
        public virtual Url ProfilePage { get; set; }

        [Display(Name = "Originally Published",
          GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
          Order = 30)]
        public virtual string OriginallyPublished { get; set; }

        [Display(Name = "View Zone",
          GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
          Order = 40)]
        public virtual LocaytaZoneBlock ViewZone { get; set; }
    }
}

Alongside this I have a controller within my web project

using System.Web.Mvc;
using BaseContentTypes.Models.Pages;
using EPiServer.Web.Mvc;

namespace Wex.Web.Controllers
{
    
    public class ArticlePageController : PageController<ArticlePage>
    {
        //
        // GET: /ArticlePage/

        public ActionResult Index(ArticlePage currentPage)
        {
            return View(currentPage);
        }

    }
}

Finally I have a Razor view

@model BaseContentTypes.Models.Pages.ArticlePage

@{
    Layout = null;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
    <head>
        <title>title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
              
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

The issue I have is that my site doesn't recognise that the pagetype has a template it can use for display.

Has anyone had this issue before and if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks

What is the AdaptiveContentType attribute type?

Usally if it is not registred as a PageType, it is because the ContentType attribute is missing. I guess that EPiServer scans all assemblies for class with the ContentType attribute. I am not sure if i scans for classed with an attribute inherited from ContentType.

[ContentType(GUID = "{3FF66761-4DF8-4D12-98DB-74402B0E586A}", DisplayName = "Article Page")]

The page type is registered, it's just not picking up the MVC Template.

Aha ok, but might I ask anyway what is the AdaptiveContentType?

It's a custom ContentType which inherits from ContentTypeAttribute.
