ASP.NET MVC 3 Strongly-typed Views: Why do compiler errors disappear/are ignored when a view is not open in VS editor?


Every time we make changes to a model we need to open all views using that model in VS editor and see if there are any errors before proceeding with a new deployment. Is there a way to enforce compiler errors in a strongly-typed view and prevent a project build so that no embarrassing errors ever appear on runtime? :-)

Thanks!


Solution

  • You can compile cshtml and aspx files at build time instead of runtime. To do this unload project, open it for edit, find <MvcBuildViews> tag and change value to true. If you have edmx files in your project clean solution before first edit.
