"The name 'HTML' does not exist in the current context" in MVC 3 Views

I´m starting to use "MVC 3" but I´m facing some little problems. In my Views, when I code something like this:

@if(Request.IsAuthenticated) {
<text>Welcome <b>@Context.User.Identity.Name</b>!
[ @Html.ActionLink("Log Off", "LogOff", "Account") ]</text>
}
else {
@:[ @Html.ActionLink("Log On", "LogOn", "Account") ]
}

The objects like @Request and @Html is indicating an error: `The name 'HTML' does not exist in the current context`.

The same occurs with @Context, @ViewBag, @Layout, @Url and others.

But the code is correctly compiled with no errors. The problem is that I cannot use the Intellisense with theses objects in the Views. Is it normal? (I don´t think so). What could be happening?

I have reinstalled the MVC 3 framework but the same still occurs.

Note: this is a new project from scratch, not a MVC 2 migration. This occurs both with Razor engine and ASPX.

This is the Web.Config in the Views folder:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Thanks!

I have solved this issue with the old, good, wise Microsoft default solution: reinstall all the things again.

Uninstall and Reinstall the Visual Studio 2010 and MVC 3 Framework.

For me this just seemed to be the fact that I had compiler warnings. Code would still compile and run ok but it was not until I fixed all the build warnings that my Intellisense starting working.

<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.LocalDbConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="v11.0" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
</entityFramework>

solution for this problem in web.config

I experienced this on ASP.NET MVC 4 as well, after uninstalling EntityFramework from my packages list.

I had to remove this section
> `<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=4.4.0.0, .... `

that's left on the Web.config file... at the least it removed the errors from the errors list

I tried to *remove* the project that is still in trouble from solution and add it back again, after which the problem had been gone.

I had this same issue in MVC 4. None of these solutions worked for me. Instead, in Windows, I went into Control Panel -> Uninstall a program. Select Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 4 in the program list. Click 'Uninstall.' A 'Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 4 Setup' wizard will display. Click 'Repair.'

Clean your solution and Under references.
Then set the follow property:

System.Web.MVC file to Copy Local = True.

What worked for me was closing Visual Studio, deleting the user option files (both solution and project level), then relaunching Visual Studio.

Set the property of System.Web.MVC,Copy Local = True
