- 21. Advanced Concepts Inline C# Use # to delimit any plain ol' C# code
- 22. Advanced Concepts Macros 油 Functions/Methods that take arguments and return strings
- 23. Advanced Concepts These items are beyond this introductory presentation, but Spark supports them: Caching of views (partial caching included) Precompilation of view classes Descriptor Filters for differentiating views based on things like area, theme, or locale
- 24. Gotchas Intellisense not working for some types like Html (helpers) The background compiler for Spark isn't finding the assemblies Copy the assemblies local to resolve R#'s intellisense doesn't work with Spark. 油 If using R# and Spark, change R#'s intellisense setting to use Visual Studio's Don't use the <namespaces> section in the web.config file.油 Use the <using> syntax in the _global.Spark file instead.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Spark is a view engine that can be used with Monorail and ASP.NET MVC. We're only focusing on the functionality it brings to ASP.NET MVC. It gives you full C# capabilities within your views in a nice HTML-friendly syntax. Use it wisely!

- #4: There are reasons people web developers don't like webforms as their view engine.油 Luckily, the MVC team made it optional.

- #7: NHaml and NVelocity are a couple of other alternative view engines.油
- #11: Louis Dejardin of www.whereslou.com posted this comment on Phil Haack's blog, haacked.com. The blog entry was about Phil's idea of a helper method that would do essentially what the ASP.NET repeater control does. A conversation in the comments section led Lou Djardin to make this suggestion. By June 2008, a Github site was created and code was checked in for early iterations of Spark.
- #15: First pass renders the view file and stores the output in a View &quot;Named Content&quot; Second pass renders the master layout and outputs the content of the view &quot;Named Content&quot; where specified
- #17: On the <use file=&quot;&quot; />, omit the extension. <Partial someVar=&quot;&quot; /> checks the local view folder and the Shared folder
