What are the best practices when it comes to mapping controllers to views?

So, I personally think this is sort of whack. I put a .aspx template in a nonstandard location. In this example, it has a virtual path of ~/Content/Sites/magical/Index.aspx. I then created my own view engine as a test, which extends WebFormsViewEngine: public class MagicalWebFormsViewEngine : WebFormViewEngine { public override ...
