Any way to have a Portable Area containing resources common to several MVC applications (when added as a reference to the project depending on it)? Wanting to have a 'Core' set of pages, styles, masterpages, javascript etc, but not found an easy way to do this.
Tried a few things to reference the master page, but not had any luck. The file is marked as an embedded resource.
When MasterPage is in Views/Shared in the Portable Area:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Areas/Core/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>
or
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Core/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>
When in 'Content':
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Core/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>
or
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Core/Content/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>
Can this actually be done with Portable Areas, if not, what are the other options?
