MVC/Razor tags inside a database

Is it possible to store and then retrive MVC tags inside a database?

Suppose I want to store a link like this one - @Url.Action("link text", "SomeAction", "HomeController) - in an NVARCHAR field in my database. How do I code this in Razor so that it will produce a link pertaining to that example?

I think It can be done using Razor.Parse with Your razor syntax as string.

Re: MVC/Razor tags inside a database

Thank you for the suggestion. I am very new to this. Yet I still tried it. But it just added an ";" to the last part of the supposed output.

What I did was installed the RazorEngine and then in my view I coded : @RazorEngine.Razor.Parse(item.contentFromDatabase)

Or maybe I just coded it wrong.

You need to write a custom VirtualPathProvider and register it within the ASP.NET hosting environment. There is an example that does exactly what you're looking for: http://www.umbraworks.net/bl0g/rebuildall/2009/11/17/ASP_NET_MVC_and_virtual_views and you also could refer to: http://haacked.com/archive/2009/04/22/scripted-db-views.aspx

Hope this helpful
