What does the @* mean in a CSHTML file

Question

I keep seeing *@ everywhere in a Visual Studio MVC Web app within all the CSHTML files, within the script tags.

Search engines refuse to let me search those characters which is ridiculous and I have struggled for hours trying to figure this out.

The lines that have the *@ are the same colors as the comments, does that mean it's commented out?

Answer 1

in MVC @(at) using for binding with Model . For example :

@model yourModel;

@foreach(var  item in Model){
  @item.yourItemFromYourModel;
}

So double at like this @* *@ using for comments. For ex:

@*YourComment*@

Jup you are correct using the @* *@ block you can set some content like HTML or Server code in your razor code as a comment.
