Ive managed to get asp.net mvc up and running on an iis6 server, but I keep getting silly messages like 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'RenderPartial'
I've got all the required dlls and even installed mvc from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c9ba1fe1-3ba8-439a-9e21-def90a8615a9&displaylang=en
any clues about what Im missing? Cheers
RenderPartial is an extension method and is defined in System.Web.Mvc.
So check out if you have in root Web.config lines adding System.Web.Extensions assembly:
<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
in <configuration> <system.web> <compilation> <assemblies> node.
Thanks all for your suggestions and also more importantly for your contributions which has made this site the great site. I dont know what I would do without this site and you guys. Thanks
this link fixed it, replacing the compilers section of the web config did it 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'RenderPartial' - ASP.Net MVC
You are most probably missing this from your web.config:
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html"/>
