Question

I’m working on my first asp.net mvc application and I’m using custom helpers like the Html.Label() from the example on the official site.

For having access to Html.Label, I have to place

<%@ Import Namespace='BRG.Helpers' %> 

at the top of every view.

Is there a way to avoid having to do that? I’ve read somewhere someone mentioning something about the web.config, but I can’t find it anywhere..

Anyone can help me?

You can add the namespace to your web.config in configuration\system.web\pages\namespaces like:

<configuration>     <system.web>         <pages ...>             <controls ... />             <namespaces>                 <add namespace='BRG.Helpers' />             </namespaces>         </pages>     </system.web> </configuration> 

You can do this in either the root web.config or the one in the Views directory.
