Many of us follow a modular architecture and create MVC3 Razor view in a separate class library project.<\/p>\n

Following  <\/span>is a screenshot of the class library project that I have created.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now if I open a view with @model typed in it, I notice  <\/span>that it shows squiggle for @model and no intellisense is shown. (error: There is build provider registered for the extension ‘.cshtml’)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The reason behind the error is that Visual Studio 2010 (for Razor tooling) requires web.config file (with some specific settings)  <\/span>to be in the project so that the MVC Razor host (which adds the @model directive) gets registered correctly. <\/p>\n

The <\/span>workaround would be  <\/span>to drop the attached web.config<\/a> (rename the attached file from web.txt to web.config)  to the root of the project. Close,  <\/span>reopen the file and Boom, intellisense is back for @model inside the class library project.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope this helps,<\/p>\n
