Razor intellisense not working in VS 2015

Question

When I load up my VS2013 projects in 2015, all my razor views are filled with red squiggly underlines.

@model, @Scripts @url, @Html.Partial, lambda expressions

Answer 1

I am using VS 2015 professional. Faced the same issue, tried all mentioned above solutions and nothing worked. Neither "devenv.exe /ResetUserData" nor "deleting content of ComponentModelCache".

The only way I managed to solve the issue is by modifying the installation: Go to Program and Features -> Find Microsoft Visual Studio ... 2015 -> Click Change -> Select Modify -> Check "Microsoft Web Developer Tools" -> Click Update

That worked for me.

Answer 2

Deleting the entire Solution and re-downloading it from Source Control is the only thing that worked for me. You might need to open the solution in VS 2013 first before you can open it in 2015... a very buggy Visual Studio release Microsoft!

Edit: Another thing that is strange, at least for me... deleting the red zigzag underlined text then retyping it fixed the problem! Possibly just a random thing that happened to me.
