Razor Syntax Quick Reference

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 
<% } %>
Using block
@ using (Html.BeginForm()) {
  <input type="text" value="input here">
}
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %>
  <input type="text" value="input here">
<% } %>
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 %>.
NEW IN RAZOR v2.0/ASP.NET MVC 4
Conditional attributes
<div class="@className"></div>
When className = null
<div></div>
When className = ""
<div class=""></div>
When className = "my-class"
<div class="my-class"></div>
Conditional attributes with other literal values
<div class="@className foo bar">
</div>
When className = null
<div class="foo bar"></div>
Notice the leading space in front of foo is removed.
When className = "my-class"
<div class="my-class foo bar">
</div>
Conditional data-* attributes.

data-* attributes are always rendered.
<div data-x="@xpos"></div>
When xpos = null or ""
<div data-x=""></div>
When xpos = "42"
<div data-x="42"></div>
Boolean attributes
<input type="checkbox"
  checked="@isChecked" />
When isChecked = true
<input type="checkbox"
  checked="checked" />
When isChecked = false
<input type="checkbox" />
URL Resolution with tilde
<script src="~/myscript.js">
</script>
When the app is at /
<script src="/myscript.js">
</script>
When running in a virtual application named MyApp
<script src="/MyApp/myscript.js">
</script>
 
 
Sometimes we want to set a different color for alternating rows in a table. Below is an example:

If the row is even, we give it a different background color that is defined in the CSS class 'highlighted'.
