title: Using Html instead of csHtml
body: <p>I want to use pure html page instead of cshtml with MVC .net.
  But when I add view by right clicking Index i can see only two options.</p>
  
  <pre><code> public class HomeController : Controller
  {
      //
      // GET: /Home/
  
      public ActionResult Index()
      {
          return View();
      }}
  </code></pre>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Cshtml (Razor)</li>
  <li>Aspx</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I followed 
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5110970/can-i-serve-html-files-using-razor-as-if-they-were-cshtml-files-without-changi">Can I serve .html files using Razor as if they were .cshtml files without changing the extension of all my pages?</a></p>
  
  <p>forum but still no help. I still don’t see an option to add html instead of cshtml</p>
  
  <p>I also tried adding html page directly to view folder but i dont know how to point that view from my controller function. </p>
  
  <p>Replacing Index.cshtml with Index.html gave me this error</p>
  
  <pre><code>The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
  
  ~/Views/Home/Index.aspx
