Shared MVC Razor functions in several views

Question

I have functions in my view that is shared by several pages:

@functions 
{
    public HtmlString ModeImage(ModeEnum mode) 
    {
        switch(mode)
        {

(Here's a more detailed version of the existing answers.)

Create a folder called App_Code in the root of the MVC project if it doesn't already exist. In here, create an empty razor view and name it whatever you want:

Add @helpers and/or static methods to it as needed:

@helper ShowSomething()
{
    Something
}

@functions
{
    public static int CalculateSomething()
    {
        return 1;
    }
}

Then use them from your views by first accessing the shared view by name:

@Shared.ShowSomething()
@Shared.CalculateSomething()
