MVC 4: How to convert string into IView? - html

Question

My purpose of this is to render string into view. This is what i have done:
public string RenderRazorViewToString(string viewName, object model, string controllerName)
{
ViewData.Model = model;
Type controllerType = Type.GetType(controllerName + "Controller");
object controller = Activator.CreateInstance(controllerType);
RouteData rd = new System.Web.Routing.RouteData();
rd.Values.Add("controller", "Account");
((ControllerBase)(controller)).ControllerContext = new ControllerContext(HttpContext, rd, (ControllerBase)controller);
ControllerContext cc = ((ControllerBase)(controller)).ControllerContext;
using (var sw = new StringWriter())
{
var viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindView(cc, viewName, null);
var viewContext = new ViewContext(cc, viewResult.View, ViewData, TempData, sw);
viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);
viewResult.ViewEngine.ReleaseView(cc, viewResult.View);
return sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
}
}
Basically what this code does is to render a view file that is found in :
var viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindView(cc, viewName, null);
And renders it in :
viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);
What i want is not finding view file, but i want to render view that is stored in my database as string. So what i need is:
Getting database view string
Render the database view string
Output it as string after render
How can i achieve this?

Answer 1

You can simply use
#Html.Raw(mystring)
mystring will be the view content stored in database
