This is used to comment the code

@* Your code here to comment *@

The visual studio keyboard shortcut :
select the section you want comment and press : CTRL + K + C will comment code.
and CTRL + K + U will uncomment the code.



For those who are looking for .aspx view engine pages.

<%-- Your code here to comment --%>

What is the meaning of @* operator in asp.net.mvc?

It has nothing to do with ASP>NET MVC. It is specific to Razor View Engine. It serves as to comment specific part of code or markup which is skipped in output.

So if you do 

@* Some Tags or Code *@

It will just be a comment at server-side. Additionally, this syntax indicates that the Razor parser should ignore everything within that block and treat it like it isn’t there at all (meaning nothing is ever executed, there is no performance overhead at runtime, and nothing is sent down to the client).

It marks the start of a comment. It's closed with the corresponding *@ sign

Its a comment

@* this is commented code in a .cshtml file*@

Similar to this in a .cs file

/*this is commented code in a .cs file*/
