I suspect you are looking for `RazorEngine` package rather than MVC packages. — trailmax, Nov 14 '17 at 15:52
If this is client library, then you don't need any MVC packages - all you need is `RazorEngine` package — trailmax, Nov 14 '17 at 17:31
Microsoft.AspNet.Razor package is installed or you are talking about some other package? — DespeiL, Nov 14 '17 at 17:54
I'm talking about this project: https://github.com/Antaris/RazorEngine — trailmax, Nov 14 '17 at 18:58
it's not a solution I need to make it work at the same way as in relativ MVC and API projects — DespeiL, Nov 14 '17 at 19:30
In that case you need to make your project a Web project. There is no other way. — trailmax, Nov 14 '17 at 19:58
U can of course use RazorEngine outside MVC (it works pretty nice for example mail templates rendering) but rember that it has some limitations like u cannot use so usefull html helpers. — Macko, Nov 20 '17 at 20:16
What is your use case ? Do you want to write a module of your application inside a DLL and use it in a webproject ? Or is there some other usecase ? — Titian Cernicova-Dragomir, Nov 23 '17 at 14:12

You need to install RazorEngine.

RazorEngine is what gives MVC the ability to write C# code in .cshtml files.

Use this for reference:

Make your own view engine

Installing razor engine

Install razor engine outside of mvc
