Get MVC Razor in favor of .cshtml over .aspx

Question

I completely converted the site to Razor and want it to ignore any residual .aspx files. This caused problems using

• not removed from the production server and
• recreated by NuGet packages. In this case, ASPX takes precedence, and any setting to the equivalent CSHTML file does not play.

I would like to tell the whole site to stop processing ASPX or ASCX pages and use only Razor views.

Add to Global.asax.cs

the following information:

protected void Application_Start() { ViewEngines.Engines.Clear(); ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new RazorViewEngine()); } 

By default, a WebFormViewEngine enabled BEFORE RazorViewEngine .
