Answer 1

1) Extend the class from razor view engine

public class LocalizationWebFormViewEngine : RazorViewEngine

2) Add the partial location formats

public LocalizationWebFormViewEngine() 
{
    base.PartialViewLocationFormats = new string[] {
        "~/Views/{2}/{1}/{0}.cshtml", 
        "~/Views/{2}/{1}/{0}.aspx", 
        "~/Views/{2}/Shared/{0}.cshtml", 
        "~/Views/{2}/Shared/{0}.aspx"
    };

    base.ViewLocationFormats = new string[] {
        "~/Views/{2}/{1}/{0}.cshtml", 
        "~/Views/{2}/{1}/{0}.aspx", 
        "~/Views/{2}/Shared/{0}.cshtml", 
        "~/Views/{2}/Shared/{0}.aspx"
    };
}

3) Create the override method for partial view render

public override ViewEngineResult FindPartialView(ControllerContext controllerContext, String partialViewName, Boolean useCache)
{
    if (controllerContext == null)
    {
        throw new ArgumentNullException("controllerContext");
    }
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(partialViewName))
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("partialViewName");
    }

    string[] partialViewLocationsSearched;

    string controllerName = controllerContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("controller");
    string partialPath = GetPath(controllerContext, PartialViewLocationFormats, "PartialViewLocationFormats", partialViewName, controllerName, _cacheKeyPrefix_Partial, useCache, out partialViewLocationsSearched);

    return new ViewEngineResult(CreatePartialView(controllerContext, partialPath), this);}
}
