I'm having asp. net mvc4 project. Angularjs is integrated. I have already built HTML pages and WEB APIs 2 as per previous requirements.
Now for some reason i have to go with CSHTML pages. previously I had only web api project template so i couldnt go with cshtml pages as ONLY MVC controller can return partial page(cshtml) but i was using only web apis...
So changed whole project template and so now i can have mvc controllers... ...
In short, currently I have mvc4 project with already built web apis and html pages.....
I just want to use CSHTML pages instead of using HTML pages rest things should be as they are...
Is it possible?
I may sound silly but it is need right now. help would be greatly appreciated...
Web apis, cshtml pages and angularjs only. not web apis, html pages and angularjs.
If I replace html pages by cshtml, how would angular route get affected?

Well, this is how I use it.
There is index.cshtml like this
@using System.Web.Optimization
@inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage
@{ Layout = null; }<!DOCTYPE html>
<html data-ng-app="MyProject">
<head>
<title data-ng-controller="TitleCtrl" data-ng-bind="Title">My Project</title>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />
@Styles.Render("~/Content/min/css")
</head>
<body class="body" id="body">
<div class="body" data-ui-view="body"></div>
@Scripts.Render("~/js/angular")
@Scripts.Render("~/js/MyProject")
</body>
</html>
NOTE: using angular UI-Router, that's why ui-view is in palce
But still there must be HomeController:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
// below I do some tricks to make app running on
// http://mydomain/app as well as on
// http://mydomain/app/ (see the / at the end)
var root = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/");
var applicationPath = Request.ApplicationPath;
var path = Request.Path;
var hasTraillingSlash = root.Equals(applicationPath
, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)
|| !applicationPath.Equals(path
, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
if (!hasTraillingSlash)
{
return Redirect(root + "#");
}
// my view is not in Views, but in the root of a web project
return View("~/Index.cshtml");
}
}
So, this way I can use power of Bundle configureation (javascript, css) ... while starting angular at http://mydomain/app or http://mydomain/app/. Check also similar here
Also in global.asax, we should configura ASP.NET MVC:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.IgnoreRoute("fonts*.woff");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new {controller = "Home", action = "Index", id =UrlParameter.Optional}
);
}
while web API should be:
const string IdPattern = @"\d+|[A-Za-z]{1,2}";
public static void SetRouting(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// some custom routes
...
// and a default one
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}"
, constraints: new { id = IdPattern }
, defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
