How change the view location in MVC? / How to use ViewEngine in MVC?

In my personal project, i got a needs building various layout for each flow .I researched on google and got a solution.

That is customize ViewEngine in MVC. 🙂

Default ViewLocation is:

~/Views/<controller>/<viewname>.aspx

~/Views/<controller>/<viewname>.ascx

For customize default view engine , created a class inherit WebFormViewEngine. For example i created MyViewEngine

public class MyViewEngine : WebFormViewEngine
{

    public MyViewEngine()
    {
        base.MasterLocationFormats = new string[] {
            "~/Themes/{2}/Views/{1}/{0}.master",
            "~/Themes/{2}/Views/Shared/{0}.master"
        };
        base.ViewLocationFormats = new string[] {
            "~/Themes/{2}/Views/{1}/{0}.aspx",
            "~/Themes/{2}/Views/{1}/{0}.ascx",
            "~/Themes/{2}/Views/Shared/{0}.aspx",
            "~/Themes/{2}/Views/Shared/{0}.ascx"
        };
        base.PartialViewLocationFormats = ViewLocationFormats ;
    }

public override ViewEngineResult FindView(ControllerContext controllerContext, string viewName, string masterName, bool useCache)
    {
        //Customize any path for return ViewEngineResult
    }
}

Add customized viewengine to ViewEngines:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

    // Replace the Default WebFormViewEngine with our custom WebFormThemeViewEngine
    System.Web.Mvc.ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();
    System.Web.Mvc.ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new MyViewEngine());
}

I will post the sample code soon.
