how to change order of search viewLocation in asp.net mvc?

Question

In my project, I have a folder called Common, and I want to Asp.net Mvc search the Common folder for finding Views, instead of share folder.

In other words, the order of search location view is as follows:

~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml
~/Views/Home/Index.vbhtml
~/Views/Common/Index.cshtml
~/Views/Common/Index.vbhtml

Answer 1

you can create custom class inherits RazorViewEngine

usin System.Web.Mvc
namespace Views.Infrastructure{
public class CustomrazorViewEngine : RazorViewEngin{
    public CustomrazorViewEngine(){
        ViewLocationFormats=new string[]{
            "~/Views/{1}/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Views/Common/{0}.cshtml"
            };
        }
    }
}

and in Global.asax

proteced void Application_Start()
{
    AreaRegisteration.registerAllArea();
    ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();
    ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new CustomrazorViewEngine());
    RoutConfig.registerRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}

I suggest doing this to prevent the Confilict of other introduced Viewengines :

ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();
