Question

Looks like I’m missing something here and I can’t figure it out what it is. I’m creating a MVC3 VB.NET application using VS2010 VB Web Project templates. I have removed all the (.aspx) views and created .VBHTML Razor view – named Index.vbhtml under the Home folder. The HomeContoller has the action Index. When I run the app I get the below error.

The view ‘Index’ or its master was not found. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Home/Index.aspx

~/Views/Home/Index.ascx ~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx
~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx
~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml

Obviously the view engine can’t locate the .vbhtml view. Can anyone please tell me how to enable this? The same setup works with .cshtml files.

Answer 1

Did you register Razor as a ViewEngine?

protected void Application_Start()
{
    // ...
    ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new RazorViewEngine(("vb")));
}
