Razor View Syntax

Razor View Syntax

Razor View Syntax

Posted: 03 Jul 2010 09:07 AM PDT

There's an old saying, "Good things come to those who wait." I remember when I first joined the ASP.NET MVC project, I (and many customers) wanted to include a new streamlined custom view engine. Unfortunately at the time, it wasn't in the card since we had higher priority features to implement. Well the time for a new view engine has finally come as announced by Scott Guthrie in this very detailed blog post . While I'm very excited about the new streamlined syntax, there's a lot under the hood I'm also excited about.

Introducing “Razor” – a new view engine for ASP.NET

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 11:01 PM PDT

One of the things my team has been working on has been a new view engine option for ASP.NET.

The new view-engine option we've been working on is optimized around HTML generation using a code-focused templating approach. The codename for this new view engine is "Razor", and we'll be shipping the first public beta of it shortly. Design Goals We had several design goals in mind as we prototyped and...(read more)

Silverlight/WPF: Don't name elements unless you have to: why x:Naming everything is bad

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 08:57 PM PDT

XAML, much like HTML, doesn't require naming every element in the markup. This is a *ahem* marked difference from the client app dev technologies we've had in the past, like Windows Forms and various forms of VB. In fact, just about every client-side...( read more )...(read more)
