1. Updated ViewComponent to exposes similar properties to the existing ones in controller where
appropiate. We've left out Resolver for being a bad pattern (just inject the dependency on the constructor
or use Context.RequestServices to access it if needed) and Response as although available through the Context
property, it shouldn't be used/modified in a ViewComponent.
2. Updated ViewViewComponentResult to follow a similar pattern as ViewResult where the constructor is
parameterless and elements like ViewEngine are resolved during execution if the user does not set the
associated property on the object.
3. Updated ExecuteAsync in JsonViewComponentResult to remove the unnecessary pragma and async keyword from the
signature and to use Task.FromResult(true) instead.
4. Cleaned up ViewViewComponentResult tests.
- #EngineeringDay
- VS does not yet format auto-properties nicely; reverted what it did
Also revert changes under
- test/Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Razor.Host.Test/TestFiles
The fix here is to do some cleanup we've been planning to do for a while,
rather than flowing IUrlHelper and IComponentHelper as part of the
ViewContext, they now are just grabbed from the service provider.
This simplifies the code for invoking a view, and gets us closer to the
desired API surface of ViewContext
- move `DynamicObject` derivation up to new `DynamicViewData` class, fixing [WebFx-169](http://projectk-tc:8080/browse/WEBFX-169)
- avoid direct `_data` lookup in previous `TryGetMember()`, fixing [#118](https://github.com/aspnet/WebFx/issues/118)
- rename ViewData -> ViewDataDictionary
Also
- flesh out `IDictionary<string, object>` implementation in `ViewData`
- provide `ViewData` copy constructor that allows TModel to change
- remove `TryGetIndex()` and `TrySetIndex()` implementations; use `ViewData[]` instead
- restore `ViewContext.ViewBag` from legacy MVC
