# EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProvider #

A custom VirtualPathProvider for IIS - load views and assets from Embedded Resources in referenced assemblies . To get started, install into your ASP.NET web application via nuget:

> Install-Package EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProvider

This will add some code into `App_Start` registering the provider.

Move views and assets into other assemblies, maintaining folder structure. e.g.

`/MyAspNetApp/Views/Thing/Thing.cshtml -> /ThingComponent/Views/Thing/Thing.cshtml`

And set the the files BuildAction as EmbbeddedResource. Make sure your assembly is referenced, and you're done!

By default, all assemblies in the appdomain are scanned. You can restrict this in `App_Start\EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProviderStart.cs` file. You can also map assemblies to their location on disk, so they ca nbe refereshed when you edit the files during development.

There is some help at https://github.com/mcintyre321/EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProvider/wiki/Help

## Install Actions

On installing the package we'll get:

* `App_Start/EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProviderStart.cs` file created - it contains provider registration via WebActivator

* section `system.webServer`/`handlers` in web.config will be updated with:

```

```

* WebActivatorEx package will be installed

If you don't want all these side effects then use package `EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProvider.Core` which contains only an assembly.

## Dynamic Content Routing ##

You can set up rules determining the order to check assemblies for resources, letting you (for example) have different view assemblies for different hostnames.
