Can we use aspx page in a ASP.NET MVC 5 application. I am using Visual Studio 2013 Update 4. I don't need WebForm, I just need a ASPX page. I tried using "Add View" but it doesn't show any option to select ASPX Engine. I tried adding aspx page manually and tried to redirect but it never worked, it gives an error stating Resource not found. Can anyone help? I looked at other SO questions, particularly this one, but it didn't help. Or may be I didn't do properly, is there any blog/article/tutorial that explains how to achieve this?

  • @JagadeeshGovindaraj that QA is from 2013. I cannot find any information regarding any updates to VS2013 that restore .aspx templates nor design-mode functionality. – Dai Jul 01 '15 at 07:10

  • Razor has been the standard since MVC 3. Your statement "I don't need WebForm, I just need ASPX page" doesn't really make sense. You might *prefer* to use the older syntax, but there is no use case which would *require* you to use the older technology on a new project. That being said, if you select the 2012 Project type, you will get an MVC 4 project which supports switching view engines. – Claies Jul 01 '15 at 07:47

  • You just have to right click on the Views Folder ----> Add ---> View ---> Change the view engine on the same dialog.
  • This will create a view with .aspx extension

Add View
