Solution 1
In View:
<%@ Import Namespace="MyProject.Extensions" %>
Or in web.config (for all Views):
<pages>
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="System.Linq" />
<add namespace="System.Collections.Generic" />
<add namespace="MyProject.Extensions" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
Solution 2
For pages using Razor / WebPages, you can include a using
directive in your .cshtml page.

How do I access an extension method in an ASP.Net MVC View? In C# I do
using MyProject.Extensions;
and I remember seeing an XML equivalent to put in a view, but I can't find it anymore.

Frode Lillerud over 14 yearsI had to close the .aspx file in VS2008 and open the file again before Intellisense picked up the imported namespace.

Jonathan over 11 yearsIs it literally "MyProject.Extensions", or is it specific? So would mine be: <add namespace="BusinessLogic.ExtensionModule" />?
