Razor is used to create dynamic Web pages, it supports both C# as well as VB.Net. Razor is used like a markup syntax for adding server-side code to web pages inorder to make them dynamic. It is much like a scripting Language, the file extension of Razor is .cshtml.

Some key points of Razor view engine :

1. The code blocks in the Razor are enclosed inside @{.........}.
2. All the variables and functions start with @.
3. Each code line ends with a semicolon.
4. Strings in the Razor are enclosed with the quotation marks.
5. Comment inside Razor can be given as @.........@.
6. Variables can be declared with the var keyword.

Example:

Step 1: Create a Asp.Net MVC application.

Step 2: Now write a Controller (ControllerName=mayank) and add a View to it.

Step 3: The default View looks like:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "mayank";
 }

<h2>mayank</h2>

Step 4: Now write the following code:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "mayank";
    var name = "Mayank Srivastava";
    var address = "Delhi";
    var id = 12;
}

<h2>mayank</h2>
