Question

Virtually every .aspx page I have in my web site needs to have this at its top to function correctly:

<%@ Assembly Name="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" %>

Is there anyway I can avoid having to declare this in the .aspx view for every page? Isn’t there some way I can declare this globally for all .aspx views? Maybe something in the web.config?

Answer 1

Add it to assemblies

<assemblies>
    <add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
</assemblies>

The @Assembly directive correspond to assemblies tag in web.config not namespace tag. Check MSDN reference
