There's been some recent chatter about mixing ASP.NET MVC with WebForms, which is something I'm all too familiar with. This setup works just fine, but what if you wanted to use the new Razor view engine within ASP.NET MVC? A bit of backstory.
On a secondary project that I work on within Microsoft, we were given the ability to rewrite the entire UI of the application in ASP.NET MVC. At that time, the first beta of MVC3 was rolling out and we decided to take our first plunge and use the Razor view engine. Unfortunately, the common UI layout that is shared across multiple properties that we had to use was WebForms based. Our attempts to convince the developers of the common UI components to support more of a modularized infrastructure failed for any foreseeable future, so we were left with the conundrum of figuring out an intermediary solution.
