Answer 1

I suspect that you forgot to bring the namespace in which you defined this LabelExtensions class in scope in the view. So for example if this class is defined inside the MyProject.Extensions namespace:

namespace MyProject.Extensions
{
    public static class LabelExtensions
    {
        ...
    }
}

make sure that you've brought this namespace into scope:

@using MyProject.Extensions
@model MyViewModel
...
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name, new { @class = "myLabel" })

Answer 2

You're using html.LabelHelper

However you have defined your own LabelHelper method, so use it =)
