I am running the executable application (a WinForms one) and I have faced the need to render several HTML pages (kind of “active” – it consumes the model and produces the HTML code of the whole page).
I am looking to the referencing the MVC or ASP.NET project. What is the best way to use these (or maybe other tools; if so, they what are they?) projects to render raw HTML code from the model and some sort of View Page?
See the following SO question about hosting ASP.Net in WinForms projects – its entirely doable!
Hosting ASP.NET within my application
In reply to AgentFires comment about doing it without a http host involved (which Im assuming he means a web server), try these two articles from Rick Strahl about hosting the ASP.Net runtime directly.
