    Getting started with Razor in Visual Studio?

    I'm just starting to work with Umbraco 6, after a long hiatus. First thing I am doing is learning to write Razor code. Naturally, I want to use VS to take advantage of color coding and IntelliSense. Problem is, I have no idea how to start. I tried simply opening a functioning Umbraco site as a website in VS, but no color coding or IntelliSense. I have a general sense that there is a different download I should be using for development purposes, but I'm just not sure how to proceed. I don't want to mess with Umbraco code, just write razor macros in the VS environment. What is the easiest path to that?

    Thanks again, Alex. That was what I needed. I installed MVC 3 and all is well. I also found this very helpful video by Doug Robar that explains how to get intellisense to recognize dynamic content. Sweet!

    Thank you too, Charles -- the first link you posted looks promising but appears to be broken. The second is way oevr my head. Like I said, I just want to use Razor to write macros.

    I'm getting ready to dive into the umbraco.tv videos now.
