installing the razor view engine for Visual Studio

I just downloaded and installed Web Matrix beta.

I am really liking the razor开发者_如何转开发 view engine.

Not so much the Web Matrix IDE.

Is there any way to install razor view engine for use in the Visual Studio without installing WebMatrix?

What's currently offered in WebMatrix isn't really a ViewEngine in the current MVC sense, it's a parser/templating engine, more like T4 templates, in fact.

That said, Razor most certainly will be incorporated as a ViewEngine option in MVC3, and should be included in the next Preview release of MVC. (see ScottGu's post: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/02/introducing-razor.aspx)

So, in short, you'll be able to use Razor as your ViewEngine in MVC very soon.

EDIT: Also, check out another answer of mine for some steps on creating a full Razor ViewEngine in VS 2010 now. A few manual steps, but you get get going in minutes.

Yes, as part of the ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 released yesterday

Actually it can be done as its assemblies are part of WebMatrix CTP. It lacks MVC integration but some code handcrafting gives visible results. Please look at http://stefan.rusek.org/Posts/Using-Razor-with-ASP-NET-MVC-in-Four-Easy-Steps/26/

From what I could gather from this Channel 9 post, not right now but maybe in the final version if enough people complain about it.
