Using ExitStrategy: Sharing Mvc views with Webforms pages

ExitStrategy gives you access to your Mvc views on your Webforms pages. There are three controls for this:

• The Partial control: functionally equivalent to Html.Partial
• The DisplayFor control: functionally equivalent to Html.DisplayFor
• The EditorFor Control: functionally equivalent to Html.EditorFor

Partial Control

You can specify the name of the view with the PartialViewName propery:

<mvc:Partial PartialViewName="Header" runat="server"/>

Editor and Display Control

There controls need three sets of data: a Model, a viewname and additional view data. You can provide these using the following methods:

• The model: Using standard Webforms Modelbinding. So either use the SelectMethod, a DataSource or the DataSource property.
• The View: Can be set with the TemplateName property on the control.
• Additional View Data: By setting the AdditionalViewData propery on the control. You can set this easely with the new expression.

For example:

<mvc:Editor ID="ModelBoundEditor" SelectMethod="GetModel" TemplateName="Table" AdditionalViewData='<%$new: {htmlAttributes = new {@class = "form-control"},} %>' runat="server" />
