Is there any way to instead of returning a view and displaying it on the screen for the user, I return it but instead of displaying it I save the .html file on the computer? The code is as follows:
return View("~/Views/Item/Item.cshtml", model);
But it returns the view and displays it for the user, I wanted a way to download the html file instead of displaying it, is it possible to do this in some way?
public string RenderRazorViewToString(string viewName, object model)
{
ViewData.Model = model;
using (var sw = new StringWriter())
{
var viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(ControllerContext,viewName);
var viewContext = new ViewContext(ControllerContext,
viewResult.View,
ViewData,
TempData,
sw);
viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);
viewResult.ViewEngine.ReleaseView(ControllerContext, viewResult.View);
return sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
}
}
and in your controller :
return File(encoding.GetBytes(RenderRazorViewToString("Item", model)),"text/html");
You may have to change the name of path (path) to work, make debug if it does not work, and see what path is looking for View passed as a parameter. p>
