The Razor syntax is much more than just a clean way to write ASP.NET MVC Views and WebMatrix web pages. In fact, with a working knowledge of the Razor API, you can leverage Razor templates in any application. The Razor API exposes a powerful library for parsing, compiling, and executing templates created using the Razor syntax.

Review: ASP.NET Web Matrix
Last updated: Thursday, October 9, 2025
Published in: CODE Magazine: 2003 - March/April
Michiel van Otegem presents ASP.NET Web Matrix as a freeware, Microsoft-backed tool designed to demystify ASP.NET for developers coming from ASP, offering an easy, integrated environment with ready-made pages, drag-and-drop controls, code builders, and a light local server (Cassini). He emphasizes its community integration, rapid setup, and emphasis on prototyping and learning, while noting shortcomings for enterprise-scale development and collaboration. Van Otegem suggests it’s ideal for beginners, freelancers, and small teams to experiment and prototype before moving to Visual Studio for larger projects.
