i recently updated my project to mvc 5, EF 6. i updated all the packages via package console manager (update-package).Now i see tons of warnings about the html helpers in every view/partial view/layout.
These are some of the errors:
The name 'ViewBag' does not exist in the current context
The name 'Styles' does not exist in the current context
The name 'Scripts' does not exist in the current context
'System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'Partial' and no extension method 'Partial' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
'System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'ActionLink' ...
'System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'BeginForm' ...
'System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'AntiForgeryToken' ...
