ASP.Net MVC3/4 multiple templates

Question

There is any way to change the defualt views path in MVC3/4. i.e: The Url http://localhost:000/Home (the controller Home) will represent the view at Views/Style1/Home/Action.

Thanks ahead!

This sounds like a use case for areas. – Jeremy Holovacs Jun 08 '12 at 18:55 — Jeremy Holovacs, Jun 08 '12 at 18:55
Not exactly, I edited the message – Matan Shahar Jun 08 '12 at 18:58 — Matan Shahar, Jun 08 '12 at 18:58
OK, why will a `RedirectToAction` result not work here? – Jeremy Holovacs Jun 08 '12 at 19:01 — Jeremy Holovacs, Jun 08 '12 at 19:01
I think that is something with the RazorViewEngine. – Matan Shahar Jun 08 '12 at 19:05 — Matan Shahar, Jun 08 '12 at 19:05

Ok, now that I understand the question better after the edit, I think this is what you're looking for:

You can change the ViewLocation in Application_Start().
The example below assumes use of the Razor View Engine.

ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();
ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new RazorViewEngine { ViewLocationFormats = new string[] { "~/Views/Style1/{1}/{0}.cshtml" } } );

You should be able to set the Default route for your application to use a different base path. You can typically set the route in the Global.asax in the RegisterRoutes method.

Example:

routes.MapRoute(
                "Default", // Route name
                "Style1/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
            );

It just changes the mapping method of the URL – Matan Shahar Jun 08 '12 at 19:15
Ah, my answer doesn't really apply after the original message edit. – DennisG Jun 08 '12 at 19:20
