Question

I am trying to create an asp.net MVC 3 Razor helper under app_code folder like this:

@using System.Web.Mvc;

@helper Script(string scriptName, System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper url){    
      <script src="@url.Content"~/Scripts/" + scriptName)" type="text/javascript"></script>
}

but I am getting error that:

system.web.mvc.htmlhelper does not contain a definition of content

at following line:

 <script src="@url.Content"~/Scripts/" + scriptName)" type="text/javascript"></script>

Answer 1

The error is surprisingly helpful – HtmlHelper does not contains method Content(), the UrlHelper does. Try this :

@helper Script(string scriptName, System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper url){    
  <script src='@url.Content("~/Scripts/" + scriptName)' type="text/javascript"></script>
}
