spark-view-engine

After pushing my asp.net mvc (with spark view engine) project to our live server yesterday I've started getting a strange error. Everything works fine initially, but after some time (maybe 30 minutes) the views start throwing "Dynamic view compilation failed" errors and complaining about namespaces not existing. The assemblies for the namespaces listed are in the bin (since it did work initially). I'm using the spark view engine on other websites running on the same box and have never seem this issue. What is causing these views to stop working? As qstarin mentioned, recycling the AppPool does

I was wondering if there was a general consensus on the "best" alternative view engine for asp.net MVC. So far I know of Spark, Brail, NHaml but what about others? I would suggest that you take each of the above View Engines, write a view, and see which works best for you. You might find that for different applications or even for differnt types of view that the choice of View Engine changes. If you're returning HTML to your client then an engine like Spark might be appropriate. However, if the conent you're returning is XML or some other markup (JSON for example) then Spark won't be much help

Suppose I have ViewModel like public class AnotherViewModel { public string Name { get; set; } } public class MyViewModel { public string Name { get; set; } public AnotherViewModel Child { get; set; } public AnotherViewModel Child2 { get; set; } } In the view I can render a partial with <% Html.RenderPartial("AnotherViewModelControl", Model.Child) %> In the partial I'll do <%= Html.TextBox("Name", Model.Name) %> or <%= Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Name) %> However, the problem is that both will render name="Name" while I need to have name="Child.Name" in order for model binder to work properly. Or,
