How do I create a WebRazorHostFactory that does not mess up intellisense?

If I create a new WebRazorHostFactory like this:

namespace Test
{
    public class TestMvcWebRazorHostFactory : WebRazorHostFactory
    {
        public override WebPageRazorHost CreateHost(string virtualPath, string physicalPath)
        {
            WebPageRazorHost host = base.CreateHost(virtualPath, physicalPath);

            if (!host.IsSpecialPage)
            {
                return new MvcWebPageRazorHost(virtualPath, physicalPath);
            }

            return host;
        }
    }
}

and reference it in ~/Views/Web.config like this:

<system.web.webPages.razor>
    <host factoryType="Test.TestMvcWebRazorHostFactory" />
    ...
</system.web.webPages.razor>

the intellisense in my view files no longer recognize the "model" and "TextBoxFor" in:

@model Test.Models.Person

<div>
    @this.Html.TextBoxFor( x => x.Name )
</div>

How do I make a new WebRazorHostFactory that doesn't mess up the intellisense in the 开发者_如何学Pythonview files?

In the MvcWebPageRazorHost I see they run a function "GetRidOfNamespace("System.Web.WebPages.Html");", but I'm not sure if this is the problem? I have tried to write a different class that does the same thing as MvcWebPageRazorHost without this function and it seems to have no effect. Thanks.

I got it working by changing it at runtime in my Application_Start in Global.asax.cs.

Here's the code:

        var hostSection = WebConfigurationManager.GetSection(HostSection.SectionName, "/Views") as HostSection;

        if (hostSection != null)
        {
            hostSection.FactoryType = "Type.Name, Assembly";
        }

This would need to be done for any areas you might have as well.

You need to install the assembly that contains the custom factory into the GAC so Visual Studio can use it.
