I've seen the question "what is the function of webpages:Enabled in MVC 3 web.config" but the answer merely explains that setting it to "false" disables use of CSHTML pages (although the is no link to the documentation).

I have a project which fails to build unless the line <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="true"> is removed from the web.config file.

Can someone (provide a link to) tell me what the effect of omitting it is? Is the default to allow or deny CSHTML pages?

Thanks

Default value is null which is interpreted as 'true' that would enable *.cshtml pages to be accessible directly. You may refer to the code base here for reference: https://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#src/System.Web.WebPages.Deployment/WebPagesDeployment.cs
