Which View Engine are you using with ASP.NET MVC?, and Why?


I'm thinking of experimenting with alternative View Engines for ASP.NET MVC, and would like to know what other people are using.

Please let me know 1) Which View Engine you use, and 2) Why.

The standard 'web-forms' view engine is of course a valid answer, but please say so only if you have decided to use it for a reason, not just 'Becuase I can't be bothered to change it' ;)

Thank you!


Solution

  • Most of the time, I use a 'standard' view engine - however, since MVC is so extensible, what happens is that sometimes we only need to inherit from it, override some little bit of functionality, and then plug it back in.

    In addition, having looking at the Spark view engine, their particular style of making view code didn't gel well with me, but that's no fault of theirs - just different strokes for different folks.
