Question

I an application that has a concept of discrete modules. These modules will live in Modules folder. Each module will have a folder under this Modules folder. These module folders will then have a Controllers and Views folder under them, very similar to how Areas work.

I would like to extend/change the search locations that are searched so that when my module controllers return a view the new locations will be searched.

I am thinking this will need to involve a custom ViewEngine, but I am uncertain of the specifics. Is there a specific viewengine I can extend, or do I need to write a new one from scratch.

Is writing a custom view engine the right way to go, or is there a better route?

Correct thinking.
