ASP.NET MVC3 Razor - What does @ * do?

Question

Since it’s pretty hard to find Google for punctuation ...

I know in Razor what @launches a block of code, but what does it do @*? As far as I can tell in VS, it runs a block of comments. If it is different from /*how?

Answer 1

@ * - server side comment:

If you have a code like this:

<p>
   /* comment 1 */
   @* comment 2 *@
   <!-- comment 3 --> 
   @{ /* comment 4 */ }
</p>

Comment 1 will not work because you are not in server mode. This code will be sent to the browser and the browser will show it because / * is not a html comment.

A comment will also be sent to the client. And I even think that it will be parsed and executed on the server if it contains @ blocks.
