ASP.NET Web Pages is a page-centric lightweight development framework from Microsoft for building dynamic web sites.

ASP.NET Web Pages is the third web development model released by Microsoft after ASP.NET Web Forms and the ASP.NET MVC framework. Web Pages saw the introduction of Razor, a template syntax that enables the embedding of server-side code (C# or VB) within HTML markup. In this respect, the Web Pages framework offers a similar web development experience as that provided by PHP, classic ASP and other scripting technologies. This is deliberate, as the Web Pages framework is designed primarily to attract classic ASP and PHP developers to the ASP.NET stack - offering a "low concept count" introduction to ASP.NET.

Web Pages are developed using .cshtml (C#) or .vbhtml (VB) files. Typically, a file represents a page in a web site and will contain both the server-side code to manage the programming logic, and the HTML, CSS and JavaScript to be rendered to the browser.

Web Pages supports a template system based on layout files and the ability to dynamically include the contents of other files within a parent file at runtime. Web Pages also introduces a simple data access technology - the Database helper - based on the C# 4.0 dynamic type.

Despite the emphasis on simplicity, the Web Pages framework provides developers access to the entire .NET framework, enabling development of complex web sites.

How much can I trust ASP.NET Request Validation with Web Pages/WebMatrix vs. XSS?

I have read (and am coming to terms with) the fact that no solution can be 100% effective against XSS attacks. It seems that the best we can hope for is to stop "most" XSS attack avenues, and probably have good recovery and/or legal plans…
