_Layout.cshtml in MVC3 with Razor has view mode?

Question

I need help! I am trying to create my _Layout.html homepage using Razor. But I see it as an overview, because in Visual Studio there is no view mode. I just want to know: does _Layout.cshtml in MVC3 have view mode, source mode and split mode like masterpage (* .Master)? If so, how can I use it? Thanks everyone!

No , there is currently no WYSIWYG editor in Visual Studio to design an ASP.NET MVC view.

But there is a brighter side to this answer. Use FireFox and the Firebug plug-in. Firebug is arguably one of the greatest tools a web developer can have. It not only allows you to see everything from markup to Ajax requests, but also allows you to edit / modify HTML and CSS in real time.
