  Accessing an Embeded View from code behind

  Apr 04, 2012 12:47 PM|LINK

  Hello,

  Currently, i can access a page from code behind doing like this:

  private string GetViewPageHtml(Controller controller, object model, string viewName)
          {
              ViewEngineResult result = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(controller.ControllerContext, viewName);
  
              if (result.View == null)
                  throw new Exception(string.Format("View Page {0} was not found", viewName));
  
              controller.ViewData.Model = model;
              StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
              using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb))
              {
                  using (HtmlTextWriter output = new HtmlTextWriter(sw))
                  {
                      ViewContext viewContext = new ViewContext(controller.ControllerContext, result.View, controller.ViewData, controller.TempData, output);
                      result.View.Render(viewContext, output);
                  }
              }
  
              return sb.ToString();
          }

  It works for normal pages.

  I need to do the same thing, but for an embeded view page.

  How can i do this?

  Thank you

  What exactly are you trying to accomplish? 

  Also, what do you mean by an embedded view?

  I am using Portable View Areas with MvcContrib.

  For this to work, all the views (and content files) from a portable area project needs to have Build Action set to Embeded Resource, so when they are compiled into the projects dll.

  I am trying to "access" one of this views from code behind.
