Question

I want to return an HTML file say somename.htm from the controller`s action method in MVC. How can i do this?

EDIT

I have lots of html template ( small websites ) which i want to show user when user select anyone of them on client side.So instead of making all these template as a view i saved it as a html file on the server.

Answer 1

public ActionResult downloadFile()
{
    var path = "somename.htm";

    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(path);

    var fileBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);            

    FileContentResult file = File(fileBytes, "text/html");

    return file;
}
