External razor views can't see external models

Question

I have a problem with external razor views. In my project I have main mvc web assembly and dynamically loaded external class library assemblies(from DB) with their own Controlle

Answer 1

Try use the using directive in your Views in the dynamic assembly.

@using MyNamespace.MyPlugin.Models;
@using MyNamespace.MyPlugin;

etc

Answer 2

I was able to precompile views with RazorGenerator Visual Studio extension (not RazorGenerator.Mvc one) in my assemblies.

It basically converts .cshtml razor views into .cs files with WebViewPage classes before assemblies compile. And in my web project I had to implement my own VirtualPathProviderViewEngine similar to this one
