    <p>Why do you need to create the email from a view? Why not use a plain old template file? I do this all the time - I make a template and use the NVelocity engine from the castle project (not to be confused with an nvelocity VIEW engine) to render the template.</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>var nvEngine = new NVelocityEngine(); nvEngine.Context.Add("FullName", fullName); nvEngine.Context.Add("MallName", voucher.Mall.Name); nvEngine.Context.Add("ConfirmationCode", voucher.ConfirmationCode); nvEngine.Context.Add("BasePath", basePath); nvEngine.Context.Add("TermsLink", termsLink); nvEngine.Context.Add("LogoFilename", voucher.Mall.LogoFilename); var htmlTemplate = System.IO.File.ReadAllText( Request.MapPath("~/App_Data/Templates/Voucher.html")); var email = nvEngine.Render(htmlTemplate); </code></pre> <p>The NVelocityEngine class is a wrapper I wrote around the NVelocity port provided by the Castle project as shown below:</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using NVelocity; using NVelocity.App; namespace MyProgram { /// &lt;summary&gt; /// A wrapper for the NVelocity template processor /// &lt;/summary&gt; public class NVelocityEngine : VelocityEngine { Hashtable context = new Hashtable(); /// &lt;summary&gt; /// A list of values to be merged with the template /// &lt;/summary&gt; public Hashtable Context { get { return context; } } /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Default constructor /// &lt;/summary&gt; public NVelocityEngine() { base.Init(); } /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Renders a template by merging it with the context items /// &lt;/summary&gt; public string Render(string template) { VelocityContext nvContext; nvContext = new VelocityContext(context); using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter()) { this.Evaluate(nvContext, writer, "template", template); return writer.ToString(); } } } } </code></pre> <p>In this way, you don't have to meddle with the view engine at all, and you can theoretically chain this with the ASP.NET view engine if you wanted, like I have done in the following controller method:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult ViewVoucher(string e) { e = e.Replace(' ', '+'); var decryptedEmail = CryptoHelper.Decrypt(e); var voucher = Voucher.FindByEmail(decryptedEmail); if (voucher == null) return View("Error", new Exception("Voucher not found.")); var basePath = new Uri(Request.Url, Url.Content("~/")).ToString(); var termsLink = new Uri(Request.Url, Url.Action("TermsGC", "Legal")).ToString(); basePath = basePath.Substring(0, basePath.Length - 1); var fullName = voucher.FirstName; if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(voucher.LastName)) fullName += " " + voucher.LastName; var nvEngine = new NVelocityEngine(); nvEngine.Context.Add("FullName", fullName); nvEngine.Context.Add("MallName", voucher.Mall.Name); nvEngine.Context.Add("ConfirmationCode", voucher.ConfirmationCode); nvEngine.Context.Add("BasePath", basePath); nvEngine.Context.Add("TermsLink", termsLink); nvEngine.Context.Add("LogoFilename", voucher.Mall.LogoFilename); var htmlTemplate = System.IO.File.ReadAllText( Request.MapPath("~/App_Data/Templates/Voucher.html")); return Content(nvEngine.Render(htmlTemplate)); } </code></pre>

    1. COThank you this is intresting, will look more into this now. Sample: http://www.castleproject.org/others/nvelocity/usingit.html#step3 Loops: http://www.castleproject.org/others/nvelocity/improvements.html#fancyloops

    2. COHi Chris, so after a simple implementation of this how would you do subTemplates, or masterTemplates? I tried #path("master.vm") but it wouldn't work...

    3. COThe initial design doesn't support nested templates, but I suppose you could modify the Render method of the NVelocity class to recursively render the templates in whatever way suited your need. Alternatively, you could download the Castle source code and modify the core velocity engine code, but that seems a bit much and it ought to be easier to extend it through the wrapper class.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
