MVC3 Areas from other projects

Question

I hope this isn't too vague.

I am wanting to create an mvc project in which I can use in other projects. I am wondering whether I can do this with Areas. Although when trying it looks at the wrong folder for the views. Does any one know a way of doing this? or Is there a different method?

Check out portable areas, I think its exactly what you are looking for.

You can use EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProvider which works for MVC views and also other content files (e.g. js/css/aspx).
