Working with Razor

Abstract

Razor is the name of the view engine that Microsoft introduced in MVC 3 and that has been revised in MVC 4 (although the changes are relatively minor). A view engine processes ASP.NET content and looks for instructions, typically to insert dynamic content into the output sent to a browser. Microsoft maintains two view engines—the ASPX engine works on the <% and %glt; tags that have been the mainstay of ASP.NET development for many years and the Razor engine that works on regions of content denoted with the @ character.
