Customizing View Engines

      protected void Application_Start()
        {
            ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();//This clears all the Web form view engines.
            

            ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new RazorViewEngine()); //This RazorViewEngine() is present in the System.Web.Mvc namespace
        }

  // Now we create our own custom View Engine  

// Add a class to App_Start folder (with any name that suits). Then make the class inherit from RazorViewEngine.
