Can I serve .html files using Razor as if they were .cshtml files without changing the extension of all my pages?

by

Thank you to SLaks for pointing me in the right direction, but it still took a few hours of digging in the MVC source to figure out the solution.

1 – Need to put RazorBuildProvider in web.config

<buildProviders>
    <add extension=".html" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.RazorBuildProvider"/>
</buildProviders>

And add System.Web.WebPages.Razor to assemblies if it isn’t already there.

<assemblies>
     [...]
     <add assembly="System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>

2 – Add 2 lines in global.asax Application_Start() method

// Requires reference to System.Web.WebPages.Razor
System.Web.Razor.RazorCodeLanguage.Languages.Add(
    "html", new CSharpRazorCodeLanguage());

WebPageHttpHandler.RegisterExtension("html");
