I would suggest that you use a Tag where you decide to render your ContentArea, would that work for you?

I agree with Alf, it sounds like you should use tags and template descriptors to solve this. You could take a look at TeaserBlock / TeaserBlockWide in the Alloy templates. You can bind a template to a tag either by registrating it at startup (take a look at TemplateCoordinator.cs in the Alloy project), or use a template descriptor: http://world.episerver.com/Documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-CMS/7/Content/Pages-and-Blocks/How-To/Selecting-a-Template-Based-on-Tag/

Hi,
I want to be able to change the way a block is rendered depending on what ContentArea I put it in. It would be really cool to change the cshtml file I am using for different ContentAreas. I think something similar is present in the Alloy site but I am not sure. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how?
I am using MVC4 with Razor, EPiServer 7.5 and .NET 4.5
Thank you very much!
