Fresh WebViewApp (Android) Template out of the box shows Intellisense Errors (see below). Why does VS2017 not find the references? Do the referenced dlls even contain the required namespaces? How can I solve this issue?
Official Xamarain RazorTodo Sample also has same Intellisense Errors
Details below...
Errors occur only in RazorView.cshtml (only when opened)
Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'Linq' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?) Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'Helpers' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web' (are you missing an assembly reference?) Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'WebPages' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web' (are you missing an assembly reference?) Error CS0115 "_Page_Views_RazorView_cshtml.Execute()": No suitable method found to override. Out of the box, there are referenced:

----UPDATE----
I updated my question. Project does compile BUT I cannot work because I get Intellisense Errors and no syntax highlighting ;)
I tested out IntelliSense in Razor files (.cshtml) stopped working and Xamarin WebView - No Intellisense in razor
So I cleared ComponentModelCache and deleted RazorTemplatePreprocessor in registry.
----UPDATE 2----
I INSTALLED VS2017. STILL SAME ERRORS. THIS $§%& SHOULD WORK RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!!! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???
