Unable to modify cshtml page in mvc

Question

There is a mvc application, in which I am trying to modify in pre-compiled CSHTML page(Index.cshtml)

@using System.Web.Mvc.Html
@model Services.Admin.ViewModels.IndexViewModel
@{
Layout = "~/Views/Admin/_Layout.cshtml";
ViewBag.Title = Resources.AdminResources.Index_Title;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="masonry">
    <div class="item col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-4">
        <h3>Event Clinics</h3>
        <table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-hover">
            <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td class="max-width">
                    @Html.ActionLink("Premier Instructors", "Index", "PremierInstructor")
                </td>
                <td></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="max-width">
                    @Html.ActionLink("Reports", "Index", "Reports")
                </td>
                <td></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="max-width">
                    @Html.ActionLink("Users", "Index", "Users")
                </td>
                <td></td>
            </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>   
</div>

Here is also respective Index.generated.cs, in which all code is written with help of "WriteLiteral".

When I am trying to add/modify in .cshtml form, it's impact not showing on UI.

I have also find out on various sites and found that these cshtml is already compiled using "RazorGenerator" tools.

Now My problem is this, when I am going to make any changes in this type of cshtml file, it is not reflected on screen.
