Buiding MVC3 solution went well but have got an error in browser: Compiler Error

  • 0

Buiding MVC3 solution went well but have got an error in browser:

Compiler Error Message: CS0234: The type or namespace name ‘Html’ does not exist in the namespace ‘System.Web.Mvc’ (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Source Error:
Line 25:         <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
Line 26:         <!--<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />-->
Line 27:         <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
Line 28:         <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
Line 29:         <add namespace="System.Web.WebPages" />

I have installed packets for the solution with NuGet and set up for all projects MVC3. Does MVC3 include libraries System.Web.Mvc.Ajax, System.Web.Mvc.Html and others? Why am I getting the error?


In References folder, I have System.Web.Mvc

    Clean your solution and then set the property of those files to Copy Local = True.

    To set the Copy Local property to True or False

    In Solution Explorer, click the Show All Files button to display the References node.

    • Open the References node for the project.
    • Right-click a reference in the References list, and click Properties.
      The properties associated with that reference appear in a list in the Properties window.
    • In the Properties window, change the Copy Local property to True or False.
