Using “nameof” operator in Razor views

Question

On my VS.NET 2015 development machine, the Razor views that use the nameof operator work like a charm.

When deploying to a Windows server, it fails to compile the CSHTML

Answer 1

According to this site, you need to reference the Roslyn compiler in your Web.config file to get C# 6 features to work in your razor views.

This can be achieved simply by installing the CodeDOM Providers for .NET Compiler NuGet package.
