Razor template and Razor Engine

Introduction 

We can use Razor template outside MVC project as a content template and generate the real content using RazorEngine  

RazorEngine

A templating engine built upon Microsoft's Razor parsing technology. The RazorEngine allows you to use Razor syntax to build robust templates. Download RazorEngine here( http://razorengine.codeplex.com/) 

Define Razor Template

TestTemplate.cshtml

<h1>@Model.DisplayName</h1>

Message

@Model.Message

Generate the Real content using RazorEngine 

using RazorEngine;
using System.Dynamic;

namespace HelloConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // read the template
            var template = File.ReadAllText(@"TestTemplate.cshtml");

            // create template data
            dynamic myObject = new { DisplayName = "Mahesh", 
			          Message="Sample Message" };            

            // generate the content using razor engine
            string result = Razor.Parse(template,myObject);

            // display the result
            Console.WriteLine(result);

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
