Using MVC Razor with Javascript.

[Rudy Hinojosa]

I use MVC C# with heavy use of Razor Syntax and JavaScript intertwined. example:  @ViewBag.this @ViewData that.

I noticed the yuicompressor does not like this.  Is there any way to escape the @ symbol

just as an example:  

var x = @ViewBag.Name;

Unfortunately not. YUICompressor works by parsing the Javascript through Mozilla's Rhino (java-based implementation of javascript); that parser enforces JavaScript identifier naming conventions, where an '@' is not a valid part of an identifier.
