c# - What is the difference between Razor and ASPX?

Question

Is there any difference between Razor and ASPX in a MVC project?

Is it just about syntax? That's what I think after reading this... Am I wrong?

Answer 1

It all boils down to syntax in your webpage view, but ASPX and Razor are pretty different view engines. Razor doesn't depend on the same pipeline that ASPX does. Because of that, I'd consider Razor to be just a parsing engine.

One of the advantages of that is that you can have a Razor parser run against any string, where aspx needs an httpcontext and other heavyweight elements.
