Does a view exist in ASP.NET MVC?
private bool ViewExists(string name)
{
ViewEngineResult result = ViewEngines.Engines.FindView(ControllerContext, name, null);
return (result.View != null);
}
For those looking for a copy/paste extension method:
public static class ControllerExtensions
{
public static bool ViewExists(this Controller controller, string name)
{
ViewEngineResult result = ViewEngines.Engines.FindView(controller.ControllerContext, name, null);
return (result.View != null);
}
}
What about trying something like the following assuming you are using only one view engine:
bool viewExists = ViewEngines.Engines[0].FindView(ControllerContext, "ViewName", "MasterName", false) != null;
