  1. POASP.NET MVC strongly typed view compilation error
    text
    copied!<p>This is a strange one. I changed something (not sure what) and now my app's view doesn't compile at runtime.</p> <p>The view itself is strongly typed:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage&lt;MyNamespace.OperatorModel&gt;" %&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I visit the page, it fails to compile, saying:</p> <blockquote> <p>CS1061: 'object' does not contain a definition for 'Log' and no extension method 'Log' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)</p> </blockquote> <p>Pretty standard error. The corresponding source code line is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= Html.HiddenFor(model =&gt; model.Log) %&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I look at the compiler-generated code, I see that the base class of the view is not strongly typed:</p> <pre><code>[System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CompilerGlobalScopeAttribute()] public class views_operator_create_aspx : global::System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage, // NOT STRONGLY TYPED System.Web.SessionState.IRequiresSessionState, System.Web.IHttpHandler { </code></pre> <p>So my question is, what is causing the view compiler to ignore my <code>Inherits</code> attribute on the view definition?</p> <p>I should point out that other views on the same controller are working, and they have exactly the same page declaration as I've shown above.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> Does anyone know where the generated source code file lives, assuming it is persisted somewhere?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> I found the culprit (in my answer below) but I've no idea why this is happening. If someone can explain I'd appreciate it!</p>
