What is CSHTML file?
The file in the CSHTML format belongs to the Web Files category. It was designed by Microsoft. In addition to this file, the Web Files category includes 303 related files. ASP.NET Razor Web Page is supported by 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Visual Studio. This was created by Microsoft Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 11 other programs.

How to open CSHTML file?
The main problem with ASP.NET Razor Web Page is that the CSHTML file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CSHTML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CSHTML file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Visual Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Visual Studio into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CSHTML files.

Remember to download programs supporting CSHTML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with CSHTML files
If, despite the installed application, the CSHTML file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CSHTML file with the Microsoft Visual Studio program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it is possible that ASP.NET Razor Web Page requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CSHTML file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CSHTML file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CSHTML file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CSHTML file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CSHTML file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CSHTML file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CSHTML files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CSHTML file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CSHTML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CSHTML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CSHTML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
