Public ReadOnly Property AreaPageViewLocationFormats As IList(Of String)

Property Value

IList<String>

Remarks

Locations are format strings (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/txafckwd.aspx) which may contain the following format items:

• {0} - View Name
• {1} - Page Name
• {2} - Area Name

AreaPageViewLocationFormats work in tandem with a view location expander to perform hierarchical path lookups. For instance, given a Page like /Areas/Account/Pages/Manage/User.cshtml using /Areas as the area pages root and /Pages as the root, the view engine will search for views in the following locations:

/Areas/Accounts/Pages/Manage/{0}.cshtml /Areas/Accounts/Pages/{0}.cshtml /Areas/Accounts/Pages/Shared/{0}.cshtml /Areas/Accounts/Views/Shared/{0}.cshtml /Pages/Shared/{0}.cshtml /Views/Shared/{0}.cshtml
