How to register a custom view engine in magellan?

Question

I'm all new to magellan, and as an attempt to learn it, I've built a custom view engine for supporting windows forms as specified in the documentation at codeplex. But how to register this new ViewEngine? There it is given,

ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new FormsViewEngine(new DefaultViewActivator()));

But what I can see is that, ViewEngines is not a Static Class and moreover it does not have a Engines Property. I know I'm missing something, but what is it?

So, How to register my ViewEngine to Magellan? Where and When should I register it?

PS: I'm using the latest update of magellan.

Answer 1

You are correct, the view engines are now configured on the ControllerRouteCatalog.

One of the goals in Magellan 2.0 was to reduce the number of static locators.

Answer 2

Seems like things have changed a bit. A few search for references of ViewEngine Class in the Magellan source gave the answer.

Now ViewEngines just provide default collection and no more handles ViewEngine registrations. I managed to create my own ViewEngineCollection and pass it to the contructor of ControllerRouteCatalog.

My bad, I should have done that before. Thanks anyway.
