Question

I’ve got master page in my project, which contains some information about site copyright and some contact info in it. I’d like to take it out of master page and place it in a static files (for some reason, these files must be placed in ~/Content folder). Is there a way that I can tell in my view something like

<% Html.Include("~/Content/snippet.html") %>   // not a real code

?

Answer 1

You are better off using a partial view (even if it only contains static text) and include it with the Html.Partial helper. But if you insist:

<%= File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("~/Content/snippet.html")) %>
