title: Why can't Visual Studio preview MVC Razor View (.cshtml) pages similar to asp/aspx pages?
body: <p>I enjoy working with ASP.NET <strong>MVC 3 using the Razor</strong> view engine, but am embarrassed to admit that not having the ability to <strong>preview</strong> the pages (.cshtml) in the <strong>Visual Studio designer</strong> negatively affects my productivity.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a fundamental reason why <strong>Visual Studio won't preview Razor pages</strong> or is it simply a matter of Razor being relatively new (and released out of band), in which case we might expect preview in Visual Studio 2012?</p>
