I have just updated to ASP.NET MVC 3 RC2.

The sample app I am working on now produces the following error, whenever a cshtml view is rendered:

CS0103: The name ‘View’ does not exist in the current context

It fails on the line:

@{
   View.Title = "MyView";
}

… and fails anywhere else it encounters View in the code on the Razor file.

I have copied the web.config from a new apps View folder to my sample app, but the problem persists.

A brand new application runs without problems.

I have also rebuilt the solution, run Clean Solution. No joy.

I haven’t worked on the sample for a few days. So it might be an issue that has nothing to do with RC2…

It’s been renamed ‘ViewBag’. You can read more about the changes from RC1 -> RC2 here
