What c# classes and functions can be used in razor?

Question

Using ASP.NET MVC can be used the view engine Razor.

Razor let you use c# code after the @ sign.

As example

@if (Model.Category == "watersports")
{
    <p>Splash!!</p>
}

Furthermore you can use something like @DateTime.Now for get the current time. My question is: what functions can be used? From where Razor import them?

Answer 1

Any public class. They get imported with @using MyNamespace . You can also import them in the config file

<system.web.webPages.razor>

element.

Answer 2

You can use anything you want. It's no different from code in a .cs file. If you need to use something in another namespace that hasn't been added to your web.config already, you can add using statements just as you would in a .cs file.

@using System.Collections.Generic;

Answer 3

You can use anything. Basically anything after @ is like writing in the code-behind. If you want code within your @ to not be seen as code, wrap it in a <text></text> block.
