“ASP.global_asax does not exist in the namespace ASP”

Question

I created a RazorFunctions.cshtml file on App_Code

@functions {
    public static string GetActiveClassIf(string controllerName, string actionName = null)

I had the same issue.

I manually edited the generated file file.cshtml.72cecc2a.cs (it was at AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root) and changed ASP.global_asax to System.Web.HttpApplication and the error went away.

This is the generated code:

protected static ASP.global_asax ApplicationInstance {
    get {
        return ((ASP.global_asax)(Context.ApplicationInstance));
    }
}

I changed it to:

protected static System.Web.HttpApplication ApplicationInstance {
    get {
        return ((System.Web.HttpApplication)(Context.ApplicationInstance));
    }
}

I don't know why this is happening though.
