RazorGenerator can't see custom cshtml helper

Question

I\'m having a problem with RazorGenerator: it can\'t compile views that uses my custom helper:

App_Code/ViewHelper.cshtml

@helper test(System.Web.Mvc.Ht         


        

Answer 1

I'm using RazorGenerator.MsBuild to compile my views and RazorGenerator.Mvc to load them. The easiest App_Code fix for me was to add the following to the top of my helper files

@*
Generator: MvcHelper
GeneratePrettyNames: true
Namespace: My.Projects.Namespace
*@

With this there's no web.config changes or anything else that needed to be made.
