Hi Nikita,

It seems to me that you forgot to use the AssemblyDiscoverable attribute in the project where you have the generated classes for your page types. Please see the docu page here. There is the Allowing discovery of the generated classes in custom assemblies section which describes the details. For the .NET core project, the AssemblyInfo is auto-generated, so you can either turn it off and handle it by yourself or modify the project file and add this:

<ItemGroup>
  <AssemblyAttribute Include="CMS.AssemblyDiscoverableAttribute">
  </AssemblyAttribute>
</ItemGroup>

We use this custom attribute to optimize the discovery of custom implementations. Hopefully, this helps.

Cheers,

Jaroslav

Thank you Jaroslav for the great advice! We store our generated classes in a project different than the main .NET Core MVC website. Adding the details you have above to our .csproj file where the generated classes are located did solve the issue.
