IDE to develop MVC 3 and build Razor view

Question

I'm on VS 2017 (or Version 15.2) and I'm trying to open a MVC3 project.

The project build and run fine, but in edit mode the compiler keep giving me those errors.

'HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'HiddenFor' and no extension method 'HiddenFor' accepting a first argument of type 'HtmlHelper' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Side effect of this, intellisence does not work in my Views.

Is there a way to fix those error in VS2017 or can I use an other IDE?

MVC3 is not supported after VS2010. So just use MVC's latest iteration, 5

Saddly this is not a solution. The requirement of the project is MVC 3. – Muffun May 30 '17 at 17:06
