I have an MVC3 web app to which I want to start using whole Razor views.
Most of the site is working fine with a Site.Master so I've packaged up most of it into partial views and am trying to add a layout with the same content.
After reading Scott Gu's blog I've added a file called _ViewStart.cshtml in my ~/Views
directory so that it'll be applied by default.
Unfortunately this gives me the error:
The name 'RenderBody' does not exist in the current context
If the file is called _viewstart.cshtml
.
If it is called _layoutviewstart.cshtml
it will work but I have to reference it directly in the view.
If it's called _billyviewstart.cshtml
is works but again I have to reference it directly in the view.
