ASP.NET MVC How to specify which folder the View pages reside in?
by default the ASP.NET MVC engine searches the following folders for View pages:
- /Views/{Controller_Name}/{Action}.aspx
- /Views/Shared/{Action}.aspx
However I want to put some of my View pages like this:
- /Views/{Namespace}/{Controller_Name}/{Action}.aspx
How can I let the engine look for this?
You can return view placed in custom sub-folders, from controller action by, giving out full view path in return statement,
ex.
public ActionResult Create()
{
return View("~/Views/ProEnhance/Employee/Create.cshtml");
}
here,
ProEnhance - user defined folder
Employee - Controller Name
Create - action Name
You have to create a class derived from IViewEngine interface and register this class in Aplication_Start event in Global.asax.cs Check this link text, but there are some differences with 1.0
