Class RazorBaseHostContainer<TBaseTemplateType> - Westwind.RazorHosting Template Engine

Class RazorBaseHostContainer<TBaseTemplateType>

Based Host implementation for hosting the RazorEngine. This base acts as a host wrapper for implementing high level host services around the RazorEngine class.

Provides the ability to run in a separate AppDomain and to cache and store generated assemblies to avoid constant parsing and recompilation.

For example implementations can provide assembly template caching so assemblies don't recompile for each access.

	AddAssemblyFromType	Adds an assembly to the referenced assemblies from an existing .NET Type. public void AddAssemblyFromType(Type instance) public void AddAssemblyFromType(object instance)
	Dispose	Automatically stops the host public sealed void Dispose()
	InitializeLifetimeService	Force this host to stay alive indefinitely public virtual object InitializeLifetimeService()
	RenderTemplate	public virtual bool RenderTemplate(TextReader reader, object model, TextWriter writer)
	Start	Call to start the Host running. Follow by a calls to RenderTemplate to render individual templates. Call Stop when done. public virtual bool Start()
	Stop	Stops the Host and releases the host AppDomain and cached assemblies. public bool Stop()
	ToString	public virtual string ToString()
	BaseBinaryFolder	Base folder location where the AppDomain is hosted. By default uses the same folder as the host application. Determines where binary dependencies are found for assembly references.
	CodeProvider	Optionally provide a CSharpCodeProvider code Default uses System.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider
	Configuration	Engine Configuration
	ErrorMessage	Any error messages
	GeneratedNamespace	Name of the generated namespace for template classes
	ReferencedAssemblies	List of referenced assemblies as string values. Must be in GAC or in the current folder of the host app/ base BinaryFolder
	ReferencedNamespaces	List of additional namespaces to add to all templates. By default: System, System.Text, System.IO, System.Linq
