Html.BeginForm() with Razor Generator

Question

I am making a Helper with razor generator to build a cutom control in which there will be two radio buttons (yes/no) I want to use Html.BeginForm for this.

But can't do it.

Do you know how to do it or another way to do it ?

Thanks.

Edit :

When I put this code

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    <input type="radio"/>
    <input type="radio"/>
}

I get this error

'System.Web.WebPages.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for BeginForm and no extension method
'BeginForm' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper'could be found 

Solution 1

It's most likely a namespacing or reference issue.

First, check to make sure that System.Web.WebPages shows up in your project references. Then add

@using System.Web.WebPages

to the top of your view. If that fixes it, you can move the reference into the web.config per this answer on the same type of topic

For me it was a missing namespace, yes, but not the one mentioned by eouw0o83hf:

@using System.Web.Mvc.Html;

Solution 3

Please post your code when you ask a question so we can see what you're doing wrong. Try this:

 @using (Html.BeginForm()) {
        <input type="radio"/>
        <input type="radio"/>
}

What do you mean you "can't do it"? Is there an error message?

Irritating to have to include these references in each helper method, and have Resharper complain about variable obfuscation etc
