ASP.NET MVC渲染视图转换为字符串

Question

I'm currently using NVelocity to render some email templates.

I'm curious how I can do this with the standard ASP.NET MVC view engine ie render a view as a string.

Basically I want to pass get the string result of a model binded view and pass this to iTextSharp to generate a PDF.

Thanks. Ben

Answer 1

You have a PDF generator that takes html as an arg to generate a pretty PDF?

Look at this blog entry for how to capture a rendered view as a string.

Answer 2

You can use a ContentResult to return Content(yourString, "text/plain"); but you just build the string in the ContentResult method and use no View.
