I found a thread: Highlighting kills my Razor syntax in Visual Studio 2010 , asking and explaining how to turn off the highlighting for Razors code.
The problem is, I navigate to: Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors
but the razor option isn't there!
I'm sure I can get used to it, but its rather distracting because I'm still very new with MVC.
This are the options I have:
(the picture didn't come out as clear as I thought it would, but the Razor options aren't there!)
Although the instructions on the accepted answer takes you to the correct settings that needs to be adjusted, it took a while for me to adjust the settings. So for those like me, the key is to change the
Item Background
property of theHTML Razor Code Background
, but the background color you need to choose should be the same as that ofPlain Text
(the first item in Display Items list). Since I use dark theme, that default color ofPlain Text
wasn’t available forHTML Razor Code Background
. So I had to goCustom…
copy the color settings fromPlain Text
, and then gotHTML Razor Code Background
,Custom…
and plugin those color setting number and now that highlight is gone!You have to find
Tools -> Options ->Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> HTML Razor Code Background
to change it in VS 2013.Please see option that starts with HTML (i know its not obvious but does the trick).
