Razor Functions

EXPERIENCE MANAGEMENT > FUNCTIONS

Razor is a view engine option for ASP.NET. Experience Management allows you to use the Razor syntax to create and use yet another type of CMS Functions - "Razor functions".

Note: Although Razor is often associated with MVC, you do not need MVC support on yourWebsite to start creating and using Razor functions. If you, however, do need Razor bundled with MVC, please consider using MVC Player.

The Razor functions are available for insertion on pages, templates, in other functions and in function calls in the CMS Console.

Note. To quickly create boilerplate-code Razor functions (as well as Razor page template) from Visual Studio 2012, install an ad-hoc Visual Studio 2012 extension by Experience Management: CompositeC1RazorExtensions.vsix. (It works with Visual Studio 2012 only.)

In this guide, you'll learn how to create, edit and use Razor functions.
