Very nice, the performance is great as well. I've started modifying this for my purposes - as well as reading cshtml files. I noticed before parsing the template you need to remove the @model line from cshtml files which looks like
"@model someMOdel"

Excellent blog Matt. Kudos to you. I am how ever saddened that SQL-Server does not allow full .NET access. And even with your approach, I can not do what I want to do, which is to bring full CSHTML/Razor to SQL Server's CLR/Stored Procedures. I think it would be better to find the code inside SQL Server blocking the Assembly.Load, and blockage of registering any .NET assembly, and cutting it out at this point. As long as we can't use Assembly.Load in anything, or specific assemblies, like System.XAML, we would be forced to have two worlds for development. One to use the latest .NET tools/aspi's, and another, custom made, for SQL-Server.
Bottom line, Microsoft should have allowed unsafe mode to register anything.
As for my CSHTML/Razor dream, I want to have CSHTML files, work with SQL-Server's CLR/Stored-Procedures, just like IIS does, where I can pre-compile test them in my Visual Studio project, put break points in the file, run them, change them on the fly, without having to stop/restart SQL-Server (just like CSHTML/Razor works for IIS with MVC right now!), and have the changes go into affect.
But most important, I want the full access to anything in the CSHTML/Razor files, which will include Assembly.Load, emails, memory mapped files, Interoperability, and anything I can imagine to link into @include statements in my CSHTML/Razor files.

use Server.MapPath to get parse the actual path and use

System.IO.ReadAllText()

to read all the contents from specified filelocation and then use razor.parse()...

Re: Modular ASP.NET MVC using the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF), Part Two

Dannie — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 07:21:24 -0000

Aaargh, it only worked after using the WebformAreaViewEngine (and visiting /Blog/View/ - returning View.aspx) - then visiting the same url WITH the RazorViewEngine works fine. Somehow i suspect mvc to be storing the dll in a tmp folder so after visiting the webform, it works in razor.

So im still looking for at solution :(

Got this to work with razor view:

@inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage<mefmvcframework.blog.models...>

<h2>@Model.Title</h2>

using the @inherits keyword instead of @model, and writing the fully quialified path to the class did the trick

Hmmm, curious. Tried to replace "@model Models.Post" with "@inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage", thereby losing my strongly typed view - this worked fine (not referencing the model-type in the view - i singlestepped the view and saw that the variable "@Model" was created fine and populated with data.. Why cant the view (when copied) not find the type?

I found an ugly solution for razor. It works.
Compilation assembly in plugin web.config breaks intelli-sense.
Therefore I used compilation assembly in the main applications web.config.
I will appreciate if you find a solution to this problem.

Add a config to your plugin root folder:

Add these to your main config:

Remove this line from Application.cs:

RegisterPath(directoryCatalog.FullPath);

richorama — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 08:43:19 -0000

I seem to have some issues with child templates.

At compile time they're missing the assembly references that I have when I call parse (I'm pulling in an external reference).

My way around this was to use 'dynamic' for everything, but at runtime I get 'object does not have property X' errors.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Razor syntax is the most elegant syntax I have ever seen, glad to see it coming to JS
@Andrew Petersen wow nice work thanks, and a compiler too, looking forward to integrating this into my Backbone boilerplate instead of handlebars or hogan :)

Hi Matt,

I'm following this article to build my project. Currently, i feel missing something in routing, your prototype register controllers of some web projects (plugins). I try to register routing like: /projectname/controller/action

What can i customize to do this?

Thank you in advance,

Bill Jamieson — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:17:08 -0000

Any chance you updating this for MVC4? I don't think the pages config items are the same anymore. I've seen other code use .UI. equivalents (?) and I can't even find System.Web.Mvc.ViewTypeParserFilter. Also had to guess that "@using" is the same as "<%@Assembly" in Razor. I'm also using "Microsoft Best Practices" technique to integrate MEF and Unity so I had to guess on getting the RegisterPath stuff working. Any ideas, links or code snippets would be welcome at this point. This really took me by surprise and the project is now falling behind.
Thanks.

I just wanted to be sure I understand -- Does this mean that Controllers and Views can be added without an application pool restart? Or is that still required?

Re: Modular ASP.NET MVC using the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF), Part One

Nathaniel — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:15:00 -0000

Is this still the right solution for implementing a plugin architecture or has MS or MS community put something together now?

What about the controller dispose issue? I noticed someone contested your IDisposable recommendation. Have you validated this one way or another? I'd hate for MEF to maintain references that prevented proper clean up.

If we can use the Unit of Work pattern for the project. What should we make of this case?
If the Unit of Work pattern as in the following example is the work we should be how to implement it?

1-Current examples of model classes

using System.ComponentModel.

DataAnnotations;
namespace EF_Sample07.DomainClasses
{
public class Product
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }

[ForeignKey("CategoryId")]
public virtual Category Category { get; set; }
public int CategoryId { get; set; }
}
}

using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace EF_Sample07.DomainClasses

{
public class Category
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public virtual string Name { get; set; }

public virtual string Title { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<product> Products { get; set; }

}
}

2-Prototyping work unit

using System.Data.Entity;
using System;
namespace EF_Sample07.DataLayer.Context
{
public interface IUnitOfWork
{
IDbSet<tentity> Set<tentity>() where TEntity : class;

int SaveChanges();
}
}

using System.Data.Entity;
using EF_Sample07.DomainClasses;
namespace EF_Sample07.DataLayer.Context

{
public class Sample07Context : DbContext, IUnitOfWork
{
public DbSet<category> Categories { set; get; }

public DbSet<product> Products { set; get; }
#region IUnitOfWork Members
public new IDbSet<tentity> Set<tentity>() where TEntity : class
{
return base.Set<tentity>();
}
#endregion

}
}

3-Using the unit of work pattern in service layer:

using EF_Sample07.DomainClasses;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace EF_Sample07.ServiceLayer

{
public interface ICategoryService
{
void AddNewCategory(Category category);
IList<category> GetAllCategories();
}
}
using EF_Sample07.DomainClasses;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace EF_Sample07.ServiceLayer

{
public interface IProductService
{
void AddNewProduct(Product product);
IList<product> GetAllProducts();
}
}

How did you resolve the issue. I am getting the same error and have not been able to resolve the issue as of yet. Are you using the embedded views trick?
