I am using Visual Studio 2010 SP 1. On opening/creating any .cshtml page (view), I am unable to find the option to see the rendered page in VS as soon as I make any change (similar to "design" tab in web-forms).

Is this not supported in VS 2010 or am I missing something?

    design tab aka Design view doesn't work for Razor files (in .cshtml extension files). – Anirudha Gupta Apr 01 '14 at 07:04

The design view doesn't exist in MVC projects.

Take a look at this answer for more information: Is there any graphical designer for ASP.NET MVC?

If you need the visual assistance when designing, you can run your application without debugging ( Ctrl - F5 ), and then once updates are made, you can refresh the web browser to view updates. It isn't real-time, but at least it is something.

In visual studio 2019 you can use the option "Show in browser" or click CTRL + SHIFT + W
