RazorEngine and parsing physical view files always causes exception

Question

I have the following RazorEngine call:

public class RazorEngineRender
{
    public static string RenderPartialViewToString(string templatePath, string viewName,          


        

Answer 1

Here are a few hints you might try:

1. Make your razor view strongly typed to a model:

   @model Foo
   
       
   
           Link: 
           
               @Model.ActivationLink
           
       
   
   

2. When rendering it pass a Foo model:

   _emailService.Render(
       TemplatePath, 
       "Email.cshtml", 
       new Foo { ActivationLink = activationLink }
   )
   

3. If you are trying to send emails from your Views make sure you checkout Postal before reinventing something.
