    Checking if view exists MVC?

    How would I check if a view exists?

    I have a helper library with static methods, so far I have below, how do I pass the ControllerContext into this?

     private bool ViewExists(string name)
 {
     ViewEngineResult result = ViewEngines.Engines.FindView(ControllerContext, name, null);
     return (result.View != null);
 }

    Assuming you are calling this from a controller, I guess you'd have to pass it in as a parameter to the ViewExists method.  Or alternatively move the code to a base controller that all your controllers inherit from?  

    If you are calling it from outside of the context of a controller though... not sure - I guess you'd need to be using FileExists and check for the file name on disk?

    Does that help?
