We are working on ASP.NET MVC 6 project and it's necessary to load and then compile Razor views from an external source (Azure document database).
I see in other SO posts (<= MVC 5) it was possible to create and register a custom VirtualPathProvider which can take view content from DB or resource DLLs (for example).
What are the options for MVC 6 ?
Technically not implemented yet. This is after all a rewrite and not just a set of new features.
I found a thread on GitHub which talk about a way to get what you need.
Basically, it's about providing your own implementation of IFileProvider.
I have virtually no experience in implementing this but I think that if you have time to spare, this is definitely the way to go.
A bit late to the party, but if you are still looking at this I have just posted a sample project to GitHub showing how to store your .cshtml in Azure Blob storage using ASP.NET 5 / MVC 6.
@Maxime Rouiller - MVP is correct that you need to provide a custom IFileProvider. My sample is using rc1-final and working. Looking at the aspnet project though, this may change subtly later (will allow multiple providers to be registered)
A blog post write up on this should be coming in the next few days too.
