| Syntax/Sample | Razor | Web Forms Equivalent (or remarks) |
|---|---|---|
| Code Block | @{ int x = 123; string y = “because.”; } | <% int x = 123; string y = “because.”; %> |
| Expression (Html Encoded) | <span>@model.Message</span> | <span><%: model.Message %></span> |
| Expression (Unencoded) | <span> @Html.Raw(model.Message) </span> | <span><%= model.Message %></span> |
| Combining Text and markup | @foreach(var item in items) { <span>@item.Prop</span> } | <% foreach(var item in items) { %> <span><%: item.Prop %></span> <% } %> |
| Mixing code and Plain text | @ if (foo) { <text>Plain Text</text> } | <% if (foo) { %> Plain Text <% } %> |
| Mixing code and plain text (alternate) | @if (foo) { @: Plain Text is @bar } | Same as above |
| Email Addresses | Hi philha@example.com | Razor recognizes basic email format and is smart enough not to treat the @ as a code delimiter |
| Explicit Expression | <span>ISBN@(isbnNumber)</span> | In this case, we need to be explicit about the expression by using parentheses. |
| Escaping the @ sign | <span>In Razor, you use the @@foo to display the value of foo</span> | @@ renders a single @ in the response. |
| Server side Comment | @* This is a server side multiline comment *@ | <%– This is a server side multiline comment –%> |
| Calling generic method | @(MyClass.MyMethod<AType>()) | Use parentheses to be explicit about what the expression is. |
| Creating a Razor Delegate | @{ Func<dynamic, object> b = @<strong>@item</strong>; } @b(“Bold this”) | Generates a Func<T, HelperResult> that you can call from within Razor. See?this blog post?for more details. |
| Mixing expressions and text | Hello @title. @name. | Hello <%: title %>. <%: name %>. |
