I have issues with Visual Studio 2015 and MVC since I downloaded it. The problem is made worse as it seems no one else is having this issue yet I'm having this issue on multiple computers.
If I create a new project MVC in VS 2015 Community Edition, I do
- File -> New Project
- Web -> ASP.NET Web Application
- I choose MVC 'icon' and underneath I check only the MVC check box.
A default application loads, but I can see all the HTML helpers in the HTML pages are underlined. This means no intellesense. As you can see, this is with a new project.
EG, the @Html.ViewBag.Title is underlined, if I type in @Html. I get no intellesense.
I assume (based upon what the web.config file shows) that this is MVC 5.
I manually added
<add namespace="System.Web.Helpers" />
I cleaned and then rebuilt.
I deleted all bins.
I restart Visual Studio (even PC).
update-package
Delete the .user file that Visual Studio generated next to the project.
Unloading/reloading project
When I hover over the HTML, I see the following
I can type the syntax and providing the syntax is correct, the helper is working but, Model does not exist in the following
@model Project.Bll.Models.ProjectPlan
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.DropDownListFor(a => a.DateFormat, Model.DateFormats)
}
What have I done wrong?
