Somewhere I read ASPX view engine has 21 transition characters where as Razor view engine has 3 transition characters. What does this transition character mean ? What are they in Razor & ASPX view engine?

  • So, are the 3 transition characters in razor @, @: & @*....*@?? – Rasmita Dash Sep 19 '14 at 08:56

I guess they mean with 'transition character' a character that indicates the transition from the render engine to the code engine.

Those symbols, like @ in Razor, indicates that the following is a code segment, and that it should be interpreted by the compiler, rather than the view render engine.

The key transition character in Razor is the “at” sign (@). This character is used to switch from markup to code and sometimes again back to markup.
