One line If statement with Razor and .NET

One line If statement with Razor and .NET

Razor doesn't seem to like my one line If statements... Normally in
VB.NET, I can write a one line If statement like so:
If True Then Dim x As Integer
However, when I do the same with Razor in a .vbhtml file like this...
@If True Then Dim x As Integer
I get the error
The "If" block was not terminated. All "If" statements must be terminated
with a matching "End If".
What gives? Why won't Razor take this? I realize that a simple solution is
to just use a code block like
@code
If True Then Dim x As Integer
End Code
But thats not what I'm looking for. I'm curious why Razor can't recognize
a VB.Net one line If statement. Any ideas?
