I do have some text(template), which looks like "Hello @FirstName, Welcome to @Address". The original plan was to put this text file in a view-bag and pass it through razor and it will do the job.

Now, The problem that I am facing is that my team wants this transformation to be handled by a Service, So there is no controller and there is no view here BUT there is a need to use Razor view engine's capability to replace all @ with server variables.

This sounded weird to me as well but is there any way that I can extract this capability of Razor view in a way that I can use this functionality in a restful service rather than sending this data to a .cshtml file?

This is possible indeed.

Rick Strahl blogged about hosting the Razor Engine in non-web applications.

And of course, this has been asked here before.

Actually, I visited the blog and I liked it but he does not mention anywhere that where did he get reference for RazorTemplateBase? i have no idea if I need to download a package or something?
@Californicated - He does mention it, under the "Installing The Razor Template Engine" heading. Taken from microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx
The only razor app in the library that I can see is razorC.Net. is it the one?
Actually, I came across something called @razorEngineon following URL:razorengine.codeplex.com/…. It's awesome and it worked for me.

Yes, it is possbible. The necessary steps to do that is described here: Razor View Engine without MVC at all.
