Several things should leap out at you. There are no runat="server" tags. There's no form tag. There are no control declarations. In fact, this looks a lot more like classic ASP than ASP.NET. Note that MVC views are only responsible for generating output, so they don't need any of the event handling or complex controls that Web Forms pages do.
The MVC Framework does borrow the .aspx file format as a useful text templating language. You can even use codebehind if you want, but by default the codebehind file looks like this:
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace HelloFromMVC.Views.Hello
{
public partial class HiThere : ViewPage
{
}
}
No page Init or load methods, no event handlers, nothing except the declaration of the base class, which is not Page but instead ViewPage. This is all you need to be an MVC view.
