Problem recognizing html helpers in asp.net mvc 3 razor

Question

This is what my Html helper looks like:

namespace WebApp.WebUI
{
    public static class HtmlExtensions
    {

            public static MvcHtmlString Genera         


        

Answer 1

You could add:

@using WebApp.WebUI

on the top of your Razor view.

And if you want to reuse this helper among many different views to avoid adding the using clause everytime you could add it to the section of the ~/Views/web.config file:

After doing this make sure you recompile and reopen the Razor view for the Intellisense to have time to pick it up.
