Set custom properties on custom template before execute

[davifiamenghi]

I've developed a MvcTemplateBase and MvcTemplateBase and I need to set some properties on those types before execute, like one called ViewData. So I would need to execute the following sequence:

         Type modelType = model.GetType();

        ITemplate template = machine.Context.TemplateFactory.CreateTemplateInstance(viewName, modelType);
        MvcTemplateBase mvcTemplate = (MvcTemplateBase)machine.Context.TemplateFactory.CreateTemplateInstance(viewName);
        ITemplateInternal templateInternal = (ITemplateInternal)template;

        templateInternal.SetModel(model);
        mvcTemplate.ModelTypeForMetadata = new TypeWrapper(metadataModelDefinition, modelType);
        if (viewData == null)
        {
            viewData = new System.Web.Mvc.ViewDataDictionary();
        }

        viewData.Model = model;

        mvcTemplate.SetViewData(viewData);
        mvcTemplate.TempFolder = tempFolder; // custom stuff

        mvcTemplate.Execute();
        templateInternal.Execute();
        machine.ExecuteUrl(viewName, model);

        if (layoutName != null)
            mvcTemplate.Layout = layoutName;

        templateInternal.TryApplyLayout();

One problem I had, is that ITemplateInternal is internal, and I had to make it public to be able to call ITemplateInternal methods.

Let me know if I'm not clear enough or if I can contribute with this.
