You need to do the following:

• Go to an MVC Razor view's property and set the Custom tool to RazorGenerator
• Optionally specify a value for Custom Tool Namespace to specify a namespace for the generated file. The project namespace is used by default.
• Optionally specify one of the generators in the first line of your Razor file. A generator declaration line looks like this: @* Generator: MvcHelper *@ . If you don't specify this, a generator is picked based on convention (e.g. files under Views are treated as MvcViews)
• You'll see a generated .cs file under the .cshtml file, which will be used at runtime instead of the .cshtml file
• You can also go to the nuget Package Manager Console and run 'Enable-RazorGenerator' to enable the Custom Tool on all the views.
• And to cause all the views to be regenerated, go to the nuget Package Manager Console and run 'Redo-RazorGenerator'. This is useful when you update the generator package and it needs to generate different code.
