With the near-release of ASP.NET MVC 3, I've been looking at the new Razor view engine. It's quite nicely done and removes the constant "context switching" between code and layout.

In my web site, I used Scott Hanselman's auto-detecting view engine, and it has served me extremely well. However, with the relentless march of technology releases, a couple things should be pointed out:

• If you want to use Razor on the mobile side, you just need to inherit his original class from RazorViewEngine instead of WebFormViewEngine. (Obviously you should probably do this in a new class, or else the original class name of MobileCapabeWebFormViewEngine will not exactly match up to what the class actually does).
• The original Mobile Device Browser File project has disbanded. Very sad news, as this was a nice project that kept on top of new smart phones as they were released. It looks like 51 degrees has stepped up to give us an alternative. I opened up an issue to request providing this as a NuGet package. I'll definitely sign up to take this task on if it gains traction, and they want the help.
