Answer 1

You wont be able to convert JavaScript variable/function call to a Razor variable. Razor variable is handled by Razor engine on server where as JavaScript on the other hand is a client side language running on the client.

Razor is a view engine used by the ASP.NET MVC framework running on the server to produce some HTML template.
