Question

Given a view with the following Razor code:

@Url.Action("Index", "Home")

I want to add an Area parameter like so:

@Url.Action("Index", "Home", new { Area = "Manage" })

But when I start typing, this happens:

@Url.Action("Index", "Home", new object{Area = ""Manage"}) // broken double quote

How do I stop Visual Studio from completing the broken double quote so I don’t have to play tetris for each link? Could ReSharper be causing this? I can’t find the option for it.

Answer 1

If you type your code inside attribute, for example

<a href="@Url.Action("Index", "Home", new { Area = "Manage" })">

then ReSharper can erroneously add a quote, resulting in “Manage””. This should be fixed in the last ReSharper 7.0 EAP releases. In previous versions, try turning off ReSharper | Options -> Environment | Editor -> Auto-insert pair brackets, parenthesis and quotes.
