Compilation errors and no intellisense in cshtml file

I have a winforms application and I am trying to add a cshtml view to it. As per some articles on the web I have tried following to enable visual studio and intellisense support:

  • Adding Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core package
  • Adding Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor package
  • Setting custom tool RazorTemplatePreprocessor

Nothing has worked so far, syntax is not recognized and file generates a lot of compilation errors, such as

compilation errors

My cshtml code:

@using Hobbysta.Store.Orders
@using RazorLight
@inherits TemplatePage<Order>

<html>
    Testowy template, @Model.General.id_order
</html>

My csproj file

Solution

  • I solved compilation errors by setting build action to none and for intellisense I had to restart visual studio.
