Custom ViewEngine ASP.NET MVC 3

问题

I am looking for the simplest solution for the custom viewengine for asp.net mvc. So I can over-ride the path to look for the views.

Actually, I am trying to build a theme system in my solution. I looked over web but found solution which is hard to learn and implement.

Thanks

This is what I use. It looks for views in a theme folder. Set the theme name, in the first line of the constructor. It also supports mobile views, but you'll need something like 51 Degrees Mobi to provide you with the mobile browser details.
