When is the semicolon required in Razor syntax?

In one of my web MVC3 sites, I'm seeing a semicolon at the bottom of the page.

Are semicolons required on @using some.Library.Namespace; statements?

There are two rules for semicolons:

  1. Inside a code block, each complete code statement must end with a semicolon.

    <!-- Single-statement block -->
@{ var theMonth = DateTime.Now.Month; }

<!-- Multi-statement block -->
@{
    var outsideTemp = 79;
    var weatherMessage = "Hello, it is " + outsideTemp + " degrees.";
}

  2. Inline expressions don't end with a semicolon.

    <!-- Inline expression, so no semicolon -->
<p>Today's weather: @weatherMessage</p>
