How To Use Razor View Engine Auto-complete To Work In A Class Library
Nov 11, 2010
We have a modular architecture where we have some views (cshtml) files in a separate project (class library). How can we get the syntax highlighting and autocomplete to work when the project isn't an MVC project?
note that the class library has controllers, views, models etc. It just doesn't have the web.config, global.asax, etc that a normal mvc project would have.
The intellisense works for everything but the so important model:
With MVC3 RTM, if you hover over the Model, you can now get a better error message:
[code]....
Then after adding the build provider, this error message appears:
If I look at the Razor View Engine, then I see a very nice and concise syntax that is not particularly tied to generating html. So I wonder, how easy would it be to use the engine outside asp.net in a "normal" .net environment for example to generate text, code,...
I'm working trying to realize a requirement where the pages should be 'configurable' at runtime (per client), stored in a database - a requirement that I have no say in Anyway, the current plan is to use the Razor view engine and 'load' the 'pages' dynamically. I have a basic sample working using a VirtualPathProvider and VirtualFile that serves up Raz'pages' on the fly.The question I have if there is a better approach when I have the Razor 'pages' stored in a dB (or any other repository)?
There seems to be some constraints and concerns when I check other postings. For example:'If a Web site is precompiled for deployment, content provided by a VirtualPathProvider instance is not compiled, and noVirtualPathProvider instances are used by the precompiled site.' (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.hosting.virtualpathprovider.aspx )
Trying out the Razor view engine and for some reason my generic helper methods are breaking. For example:
public static class UrlHelperExtensions { public static string NonGenericHelper(this UrlHelper helper, Type controller) { return controller.Name; } public static string GenericHelper<TController>(this UrlHelper helper) { return typeof(TController).Name; } }
Works as expected:@Url.NonGenericHelper(typeof(ProjectEuler.UI.Models.Home))Breaks with the following exception:
@Url.GenericHelper<ProjectEuler.UI.Models.Home>() "CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'Microsoft.WebPages.WebPageUltimateBase.Write(Microsoft.WebPages.Helpers.HelperResult)' has some invalid arguments"
The only workaround I could find is treating it as a "multi-token statement":
how do I change the view engine from aspx to razor in an existing project? If I just change the file extension to cshtml I always get "The controller for path '/path/About' was not found or does ..."
Would like to add a third party test framework (such as NUnit or MbUnit) to the drop-down list of test projects for the ASP.NET MVC3 type project in Visual Studio 2010.
This had worked before for ASP.NET MVC2 and prior, but the msdn instructions are not accurate and does not work. Creating the registry keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER seem to delete the keys every time the VS-2010 starts, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE does not follow the same tree structure.

I have been tasked with a duty to get auto complete to work on a simple employee search web form that I have created. And after looking at the tutorial I have an idea of how to get auto complete working and in the instance of my page I have it working with the sample data from the tutorial. So my question is this. How do I get it to work/quary from the SQL database that I have? I have tried several combinations and I can't seem to get it to pull from the DB. Below is the full code to my C# page with LINQ
point me in the direction of getting the Razor View Engine working correctly with an empty "non MVC" web application. I can correctly set it up with a MVC app or with a Web Site (Razor), but if I try and get it running with and empty app, I run into the following two problems:
1) I can't add new razor files to the application (*.cshtml files)
2) Once deployed to AppHarbor, the .cshtml files aren't found unless they have the extension specified (i.e. /Default won't work, but /Default.cshtml does)
How do you modify a ASP.NET MVC 2.0 project to work with the Spark View Engine?
I tried like described here:

But somehow it still tries to route to .aspx files.
Here the code of my global.asax:
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication { public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute(.......
I am trying to implement the TinyMCE Spellcheck plugin that uses GoogleSpell. The thing is I am trying to install it in an MVC environment. I started by referencing the .NET class Library DLL (MoxieCode.TinyMCE) in my project. Then, I added this code to my web.config:
These steps are outlined in the tutorial here. I then followed instructions from this stack overflow post which recommended the following modification to global.asax to make it mvc friendly:
Everything seems fine accept that when I browse to /TinyMCE.ashx i get this error:

I'm trying to have all my views inherit from a custom class so that I can add certain behaviour and values to all pages, but I'm having some issues. I tried subclassing System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage but I'm forced to implement an Execute procedure that I don't know what it should do. Also, if I try to access the Context variable, I get a null reference (really weird). This leads me to think that I may have the wrong base class.
Using the Razor engine how do I create Partial Views. Do I create a normal View and calling the PartialView() in the controller will only output the body content and when calling View() in the controller will output the full page with layout. If not, do I need to create specific Partial Views and then use RenderPartial in the View.
In my application users can write their own 'templates'. That are filled with data from other sources. I could use a simple token replacement, but I would like to be able to use the Razor syntax and engine for rendering the template. Here is an overly simplified example:

Before you point to the following sources I will clarify what I have learned from them:RazorEngine (http://razorengine.codeplex.com/). This code compiles the string into a class, then a dll, then finally reads from a dll - all this to bypass the MVC engine. I don't want to do that because I am in MVC and don't want the additional overhead.The following blog shows how to do this for one of the MVC 3 pre-releases:http://buildstarted.com/2010/09/28/mvc-3-razor-view-engine-without-a-controller/ I cannot get it to work with MVC 3 RTM. When I take the exact code (and replace the CshtmlView with a RazorView) I end up with the error: The method or operation is not implemented. It appears to have something to do with @Model.Name, and being unable to find "Name".A comment in the blog elludes to a statement from ScottGu that the RTM would allow this functionality from the get go. I cannot find this blog.
