Share state between view and Layout view? about razorengine HOT 6 CLOSED

Correction: RazorEngine does execute the content template before the Layout template, so that's not the cause of the above mentioned error. After second thought, both the content template as the Layout template are individual instances of TemplateBase, so they each have their own Title property of course. I will try to see what I can do with the model, which should be shared by both template instances.

Bummer, when resolving the Layout, it does not get an instance of the model :(.
So when rendering Layout, Model == null

We could add a shared ViewBag property to the base template, this would have to be tracked through the ExecuteContext that manages the template execution. Will investigate today for you. The model type will need consideration, but I imagine we could simply reuse the same model type, and allow you to override it using @model in the layout.

This now works. It would make sense for me to push a common ViewBag property into the base template type, which is what I have done. This means you don't need to implement in a custom base template type. There is a caveat, this only shares state between layouts and child templates.

If you are using @Include(...) then this creates a whole new ExecuteContext for that child rendering request.

In regards to the Model issue, I'll address this through issue #6

Great work, this will come in handy for my new project.
