    <p>We have a custom templating framework used by our web applications with implementations which are written in a variety of languages, and I'm investigating whether its possible to use this in an ASP.NET MVC application using the Razor View engine. We already have an implementation that uses the Web Forms View engine, but I'm keen to be able to use Razor as well.</p> <p>The template is defined in a html file which contains macro tags that are interpreted and replaced at runtime with the applicable html. Below is a highly simplified version of this file:-</p> <pre><code>[doctype] &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; [HeadScript] [HeadSectionText] &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body id="[if Home][Home][else]body[end if]"&gt; [form] [Content] [end form] [EndBodyScript] &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>As you can see, there are opportunities to inject html into various sections of the document, with some of this being handled by a simple conditional logic implementation. In order to use this with Razor, I'd need to be able to process all the macro tags in the template, including inserting the HTML from the Razor view being rendered, and use the output of this operation as the HTML to be ultimately sent to the client.</p> <p>I'm pretty green when it comes to MVC development, but I know I can create a custom ViewEngine and IView implementation. Perhaps I can use this to achieve what I want, with a custom engine using the RazorView class to render the actual content to be inserted into our template. Does this sound like a feasible solution? And if so, does anyone have any tips to get me started?</p> <p>Currently I have a kludgy solution where I use the ASP.NET WebForms engine and render partial Razor views, but longterm I'd prefer to have a solution that can take the WebForms engine out of the equation entirely.</p> <p>Any shoves in the right direction greatly appreciated.</p>

    2. COI never found an ideal solution for this, so I use the ASPX view engine for pages which simply contain partial Razor views. Not pretty, but it works. And I still get to use Razor for the majority of my markup

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
