Display Sitecore MVC rendering inside a Sitecore sublayout (Webforms page)

I've converted a sublayout to a MVC rendering and it needs to be statically bound to another sublayout. The old sublayout was bound using 

<sc:Sublayout runat="server" ID="myID" Path="file/path/tothe.ascx" />

Now that the component is a rendering i've tried 

<sc:Rendering runat="server" ID ="renderingID" Path="file/Path/ToView.cshtml"/>

and 

<sc:Rendering runat="server" ID="renderingID2" renderingname="ReturnToSearchLink"/>

Neither have been succesful. Just nothing shows up and the rendering doesn't get hit while debugging. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Solution

  • Out of the Box each page should be either WebForms or MVC.

    Not advisable but if you really want there are solutions. Like the Hedgehog MVC aspx interop. I never tried statically bound, but you can give it a try.
