What is a CSHTML file

CSHTML files mostly belong to ASP.NET by Microsoft. A CSHTML file is a dynamic web page written in the Razor syntax used by ASP.NET dynamic web development framework. The file is essentially a view (layout) template in a model-view-controller architecture. Razor syntax is based on C# and Visual Basic programming language. It embeds inline and multiline business logic and database commands into markup that is compiled to plain HTML at runtime. For example, a CSHTML file for a blog template may look as follows:


@ var title = Article.title
@ var author = Article.author.name
<h1>@title</h1>
<p>@author</p>

How to open CSHTML files

You need a suitable software like ASP.NET to open a CSHTML file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your CSHTML file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CSHTML file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
