[mvc2inaction-discuss] Chapter 3

In section 3.5.3 "Selecting Templates"

There is a section that reads:

If a template isn’t found in these folders, or if the view isn’t in an
area, the default view search locations are used:
 <ControllerName>/EditorTemplates/<TemplateName>.ascx (or .aspx)
 Shared/EditorTemplates/<TemplateName>.ascx (or .aspx)


I think this might be more clear if it specified that this was in the
Views sub-folder, i.e.

If a template isn’t found in these folders, or if the view isn’t in an
area, the default view search locations are used:
 Views/<ControllerName>/EditorTemplates/<TemplateName>.ascx
(or .aspx)
 Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/<TemplateName>.ascx (or .aspx)

It took me a bit to discover why my template wasn't working.

Brian,

Really good idea.  We'll have to peg that for the next edition as the book is already at the printer now.  Thanks for posting it here, though because at least it is searchable.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Palermo
