@ Html.EditorFor在视图内不可用

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2013 Web Express. In my ASP.NET MVC application view I cannot call or even see the @Html.EditorFor method. The intellisense never pops it up.

Any ideas?

EDITED: Same goes with @Html.BeginForm. The method never pops up!

It sounds like the namespace is not available. In the first instance, try adding

@using System.Web.Mvc.Html

at the top of your view to see if that helps. If it does, then there is probably a problem with your View specific Web.config . In the root of your Views folder there should be a Web.config file. Note that if you use Areas then there should be one of those in each Views folder.

Inside that Web.config there should be a section like the following:

<configuration>
...other stuff...

  <system.web.webPages.razor>
    <host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
      <namespaces>
        <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
        <add namespace="System.Web.Optimization"/>
        <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
        <add namespace="WebApplication1" />
      </namespaces>
    </pages>
  </system.web.webPages.razor>

...other stuff...
</configuration>

Essentially that section is the equivalent of adding using statements inside each view.
