copied!<p>Try using spark view engine (<a href="http://www.sparkviewengine.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.sparkviewengine.com/</a>). It is easy to use, nicer than standard engine and doesn't require to fake context.</p> <p>You can also use function from this answer <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/483091/render-a-view-as-a-string/484932#484932">Render a view as a string</a> , but it requires faking context. This is the way standard view engine works and you can do nothing about that.</p> <p>This is my extension class that is used to generate views to string. First is for standard view engine, second for Spark:</p> <pre><code>public static class ControllerHelper { /// <summary>Renders a view to string.</summary> public static string RenderViewToString(this Controller controller, string viewName, object viewData) { //Getting current response var response = HttpContext.Current.Response; //Flushing response.Flush(); //Finding rendered view var view = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(controller.ControllerContext, viewName).View; //Creating view context var viewContext = new ViewContext(controller.ControllerContext, view, controller.ViewData, controller.TempData); //Since RenderView goes straight to HttpContext.Current, we have to filter and cut out our view var oldFilter = response.Filter; Stream filter = new MemoryStream(); ; try { response.Filter = filter; viewContext.View.Render(viewContext, null); response.Flush(); filter.Position = 0; var reader = new StreamReader(filter, response.ContentEncoding); return reader.ReadToEnd(); } finally { filter.Dispose(); response.Filter = oldFilter; } } /// <summary>Renders a view to string.</summary> public static string RenderSparkToString(this Controller controller, string viewName, object viewData) { var view = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(controller.ControllerContext, viewName).View; //Creating view context var viewContext = new ViewContext(controller.ControllerContext, view, controller.ViewData, controller.TempData); var sb = new StringBuilder(); var writer = new StringWriter(sb); viewContext.View.Render(viewContext, writer); writer.Flush(); return sb.ToString(); } } </code></pre>
