New MVC Web Application has no Razor recognition

Question

I just created a new ASP.Net Web Application in Visual Studio 2015 Update 1.

Solution > Add New Project > Visual c# > Web > .NET Framework 4.5.2 > ASP.Net Web Application

In the 'Select a Template' dialog, I selected MVC.

In the packages.config file is this line:

  <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.Razor" version="3.2.3" targetFramework="net452" />

However, none of the usual Razor highlighting is working, and I'm not getting any intellisense.

Did you check for Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages references? – fcartu Mar 22 '16 at 18:32 — fcartu, Mar 22 '16 at 18:32

Found the answer here.

Just delete the contents of this directory with Visual Studio closed:

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache

weird.
