I have ASP.NET 5 Web Api and need to do the following task:

Add endpoint, which get cshtml page and return generated html, so it should do the same what is does razor view engine.

What is better way to do this?

I added these views in this web api project and I think I can just make httpget request to view to get html response. Is it correct way?

So actually I need to covert ViewResult to ContentResult.

  • havent tested but surely you just add an mvc controller and return a view as normal? Commented Jul 18, 2021 at 17:38
  • @Ewan, I don't need to show view, just return html as string. Commented Jul 18, 2021 at 17:42

  • @Ewan, maybe you're right. Than I just need to replace services.AddControllers() to services.AddControllersWithViews() and create endpoint that returns this view. Commented Jul 18, 2021 at 17:59

    if you want to return the string as an escaped json object then you can call the razor engine in code codemag.com/article/1312081/… Commented Jul 18, 2021 at 18:11
