Question

I have an issue which seems to have been reported here:

Need razor view engine auto-complete to work in a class library?

My issue is the following Warning:

G:\Accountable\Accountable\Views\LedgerUser\EditorTemplates\LedgerServiceViewModel.cshtml:
ASP.NET runtime error: There is no build provider registered for the
extension ‘.cshtml’. You can register one in the
section in machine.config or web.config.
Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which
includes the value ‘Web’ or ‘All’.

This issue is apparent in all my views. Sample images below.

Now all posts and references online that I have found are referencing to adding various Web.config (as mentioned in the previous post) options, but this doesn’t seem to work, as I have these configurations defaulted in the project. Here are my Web Configs:

Main Web.config

View root Web Config

I think this issue maybe while im also getting the following compiler errors on the Views:

The name ‘Html’ does not exist in the current context

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Arrrgghhh i had missed the following from the ROOT Web.config:

 <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
  <!-- New -->
  <assemblies>
    <add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
  </assemblies>
</compilation>

This allowed fixed the error and allowed me to use Intellisense within the View.
