I had a small bug in a view and noticed that the view engine was searching not only for my razor views but for aspx/ascx pages. (My bug is fixed)
Is there a way to tell it to only search the Razor view engine?
Here is the error message that was displayed:
The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Areas/BO/Views/Organization/Index.aspx
~/Areas/BO/Views/Organization/Index.ascx
~/Areas/BO/Views/Shared/Index.aspx
~/Areas/BO/Views/Shared/Index.ascx
~/Views/Organization/Index.aspx
~/Views/Organization/Index.ascx
~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx
~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx
~/Areas/BO/Views/Organization/Index.cshtml
~/Areas/BO/Views/Organization/Index.vbhtml
~/Areas/BO/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml

The Razor View Engine is a bit slower than the ASPX View Engine. Razor provides a new view engine with streamlined code for focused templating. Razor's syntax is very compact and improves readability of the markup and code. By default MVC supports ASPX (web forms) and Razor View Engine.
Razor Engine is an advanced view engine that was introduced with MVC3. This is not a new language but it is a new markup syntax. Web Form Engine is the default view engine for the Asp.net MVC that is included with Asp.net MVC from the beginning.
Removing the Web Form (ASPX) view engine We can remove all the view engines and add only Razor view engine by using Application_Start event of Global. asax. cs file like as: protected void Application_Start() { //Remove All Engine ViewEngines.
Razor is a markup syntax that lets you embed server-based code into web pages using C# and VB.Net. It is not a programming language. It is a server side markup language. Razor has no ties to ASP.NET MVC because Razor is a general-purpose templating engine. You can use it anywhere to generate output like HTML.
You need to remove the WebFormsViewEngine from ViewEngine.Engines so that it only contains a RazorViewEngine.
For example:
ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();
ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new RazorViewEngine());
