Question

How do you configure the views to able to reference a namespace like System.Web.Mvc without having to do <%@ Import Namespace=’System.Web.Mvc’ %>? I remember seeing this somewhere but my google skills are failing me at the moment.

Answer 1

Can you add them in web.config? Don’t know if this works in MVC, though…

<configuration>  <system.web>     <pages>       <namespaces>         <add namespace='Foo.Blop' />         <add namespace='Bar.Whatever'/>       </namespaces>     </pages>    </system.web> </configuration> 

(update – seems to work fine ;-p)
