The name does not exist in the current context (razor)

I got a few problems with the razor and yet it stresses me out again.

I opened a project that is dotted with red Squiggles inside a razor. This is a very difficult task since I am a Webforms developer switching to MVC.

I am running visual studio 2015.

At first I thought it might be a version issue, but it all seems good. WebConfig seems to be up to date. I am at a loss and need guidance. Any help is greatly appreciated!

enter image description here

/// edits

Web.config views.

  <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
  <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
  <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
  <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
  <add namespace="System.Web.Optimization" />

Looks like I'm missing the razor namespace. I cannot add this to links.

Find the section <system.web.webPages.razor>

in your web.config. This config file can be found under Views -> web.config. If you have version 4.0.0.0 for System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory

, then change it to Version = 5.0.0.0 . It should look like this:

<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />



Note. Make sure you call all views in Visual Studio and reopen them.

It seems to me that your UI project is missing the MVC and Razor assembly references.

Check links for

System.Web.MVC



System.Web.Razor

System.Web.Webpages

System.Web.Webpages.Razor
