VS2010 MVC3 - Spark not showing in View Engine dropdown

Question

I am in the process of converting a good sized asp.net 4 site to MVC3 and I am having trouble with the helper functions in razor partial views. So I wanted to try Spark but after using NuGet to install Spark in my project I don't see how to create a Spark view.

I am assuming that Razor and Spark will co-exist in the same project? If that is not true, then that is probably my problem.

When I treid to create a new view I expected to see Spark in the View Engine drop down on the Add View dialog. Only razor and aspx show up.

I have restarted vs2010 several times now and I shouldn't need to reboot.

Any suggestions?

You need to register Spark View Engine templates.

After installing Spark using NuGet Package Manager follow the below steps:

Step 1 : Navigate to the following path and create a folder with name= Spark . Spark specific templates must be copied into Spark folder. C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\\Common7\\IDE\\ItemTemplates\\CSharp\\Web\\MVC 4\\CodeTemplates\\AddView

Step 2 : Create an xml file with in Spark folder. The name of the XML file must be "ViewEngine.xml" and must contain the following xml content.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ViewEngine DisplayName="Spark" 
  ViewFileExtension=".spark" 
  DefaultLayoutPage="~/Views/Shared/_Layout.spark" 
  PartialViewFileExtension=".spark" />

Now, right click on any controller action method and select Add View from the context menu. Now you should able to see the, Spark view engine in the list.
