I have added an MVC scope to an existing Web Forms project. I want to use the main page in all views for an MVC project. I do not understand how I should reference MasterPage for WebForms inside the MVC scope.
I read these two articles:
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/MixingRazorViewsAndWebFormsMasterPagesWithASPNETMVC3.aspx
http://www.eworldui.net/blog/post/2011/01/07/Using-Razor-Pages-with-WebForms-Master-Pages.aspx
I added a class of controller extensions inside the controller folder.
public static class ControllerExtensions
{
public static ViewResult RazorView(this Controller controller)
{
return RazorView(controller, null, null);
}
public static ViewResult RazorView(this Controller controller, object model)
{
return RazorView(controller, null, model);
}
public static ViewResult RazorView(this Controller controller, string viewName)
{
return RazorView(controller, viewName, null);
}
public static ViewResult RazorView(this Controller controller, string viewName, object model)
{
if (model != null) controller.ViewData.Model = model;
controller.ViewBag._ViewName = GetViewName(controller, viewName);
return new ViewResult
{
ViewName = "RazorView",
ViewData = controller.ViewData,
TempData = controller.TempData
};
}
static string GetViewName(Controller controller, string viewName)
{
return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(viewName)
? viewName
: controller.RouteData.GetRequiredString("action");
}
}
Inside the folder, /Views/SharedI added three files:
_SiteLayout.cshtml
@RenderBody()
RazorView.aspx
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Areas/MyApp/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<dynamic>" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<% Html.RenderPartial((string) ViewBag._ViewName); %>
</asp:Content>
Site.Master
<%@ Master Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
Inside web.Configin the folder Sharedin ViewsI added:
<system.web>
<pages pageParserFilterType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewTypeParserFilter, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"
pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"
userControlBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
<controls>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" namespace="System.Web.Mvc" tagPrefix="mvc" />
</controls>
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html"/>
</namespaces>
</pages>
</system.web>
MVC, MasterPage . -?
