How to Extract Web Design from an ASP.NET MVC .cshtml Page for Use in Angular?

I am working on an ASP.NET MVC application using .NET 10. I need to migrate the frontend from ASP.NET MVC/Razor (.cshtml) to Angular, while keeping the same web design and UI as much as possible.

I would like to extract the HTML structure, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, plugins, and other frontend dependencies from an existing .cshtml page and convert it into a standalone static HTML design that I can then use as a reference/template for my Angular frontend.

For example, if I have the following Razor page:

DailyExecution.cshtml

I would like to extract it into:

E:\web design\daily execution\

with a structure similar to:

daily execution/

│

├── assets/

├── css/

├── fonts/

├── images/

├── js/

├── plugins/

└── index.html

Where:

index.html represents the original DailyExecution.cshtml page.

css/ contains the CSS files required by the page.

js/ contains the JavaScript files required by the page.

images/ contains the images used by the page.

fonts/ contains the required fonts.

plugins/ contains third-party libraries/plugins used by the page.

assets/ contains other required static assets.

The goal is to make index.html work as a standalone static representation of the original .cshtml design, without requiring the ASP.NET MVC application to render it.

My questions

What tools are recommended for extracting the complete frontend design/dependencies from an ASP.NET MVC .cshtml page?

Is there a tool that can automatically identify and download the required CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, plugins, and other dependencies?

How can I convert a .cshtml page into a standalone index.html while preserving its visual appearance?

How should I handle Razor-specific elements such as:

@Html.Partial(...)

@Html.Action(...)

@Model

@ViewBag

@section Scripts

_Layout.cshtml

What is the recommended workflow for extracting a complex MVC page and preparing it as a static HTML design that can later be recreated in Angular?

I am not trying to migrate the C# backend or MVC functionality. My main goal is to extract the frontend/web design and its dependencies so that I can recreate the same UI in Angular.

To extract the frontend UI of your ASP.NET MVC/Razor (.cshtml) page and turn it into a standalone static HTML blueprint for Angular, the most reliable approach is to capture the fully rendered page from the browser rather than trying to parse the raw .cshtml and layouts on your hard drive.

Recommended Extraction Tools

The easiest way to automatically identify, bundle, and download the required CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, and plugins is to use dedicated browser-based scraper tools:

Save Page WE (Recommended): A powerful browser extension available for Google Chrome and Firefox. It can save a complete web page with all its live assets (stylesheets, scripts, images) into a single file or a clean directory.
SingleFile: Another exceptional browser extension that merges the complete DOM, including CSS, fonts, and images (as base64 or separate files), exactly as it looks live in your browser.
HTTrack / Wget: If you have an entire portal to extract, command-line utilities like HTTrack can crawl your locally running .NET 10 application (localhost) and map out the exact asset folder structure (/css, /js, /images) you requested.
