How to reference functions from other function files in ASP.NET Web Pages 2?

Question

Here's the situation:

Let's say I have two files in App_Code containing blocks of functions in each:

Here's sample function #1 in file AppCode/File1.cshtml:

@functions {
  public static Boolean getTrue() {
    return true;
  }
}

Here's sample function #2 in file AppCode/File2.cshtml:

@functions {
  public static Boolean getFalse() {
    return false;
  }
}

I can reference the either functions in CSHTML files from my root folder via @File1.getTrue() or @File2.getFalse().

However, can I call @File2.getFalse() in AppCode/File1.cshtml so that:

@functions {
   public static Boolean getTrue() {
     return (!@File2.getFalse());
   }
}

Answer 1

Code in a function marked with the helper keyword is pure C#. Therefore you should remove the Razor @ sign. That should only be used to render server-side variables and expression results to the browser.

 @functions {
   public static Boolean getTrue() {
     return (!File2.getFalse());
   }
}
