  • 2) What is Razor?

    -When we need to include our c# or VB code with the HTML markup within ASP.NET Web pages then sometimes it becomes very tedious. To overcome this problem, Razor was implemented.

    -Razor was introduced with ASP.NET MVC 3 to make ease of writing C# or VB code in HTML pages.

    -There is no need to use ASP.NET delimiter <%= %>. We can use only “@” character to achieve the same goal.

    -For example
    <%= DateTime.Now %>
    Can be written in Razor simply as
    @DateTime.Now

    -In razor all syntax starts with “@” and if there is only one line of code then there is no need to use “{“.

    -The extension of Razor file is cshtml for C# work environment and vbhtml for Visual Basic work environment.
