Versioning Issues With Optional Arguments(haacked.com)

ScottGu: Introducing “Razor” – a new view engine for ASP.NET(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by Jemm(9604) 1 year, 10 months ago

"ASP.NET MVC has always supported the concept of “view engines” – which are the pluggable modules that implement different template syntax options. The “default” view engine for ASP.NET MVC today uses the same .aspx/.ascx/.master file templates as ASP.NET Web Forms. Other popular ASP.NET MVC view engines used today include Spark and NHaml. 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." read more...
