I have 5 to 6 projects. Project A and B use a same file via Linked File. Now, if I use this class in Razor I will get,

The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties:

Because Razor views reference all the dlls in bin. It is referencing the same class from Project A and B. How to tell the Razor during compilation use Project A and not Project B?

Why don't you use signatures? At least don't use linked files and separate them to avoid overlapping! msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa691131%28v=vs.71%29.aspx –  AmirHossein Mehrvarzi Feb 21 at 20:37

You should not use Linked Files when including the assembly too. Why do you need the referenced class twice? There is no point in that.

You have to put that file in a separate project and reference that one in A, B and your MVC project. This makes you don't need the linked files any more.

Another way is to get the assembly and from this assembly, get the type using reflection and then call the method.

Talking about Razor –  user960567 May 4 '14 at 9:46
    
What makes Razor different then every other .NET project? –  Patrick Hofman May 4 '14 at 9:54
    
When compiling Razor views, it will reference all the dlls in bin folder. –  user960567 May 4 '14 at 10:34
    
Still, you include a reference and a class in linked file. That will never work. –  Patrick Hofman May 4 '14 at 11:35

@user960567 Patrick Hofman is right, create a project and put a class to communicate with this linked file and let the project a and b to reference this new project c, this way you will get rid from the problem –  Hadi Hassan Feb 24 at 10:05

I know it's kind a tricky answer but you can add another class in one of your two projects and this class will just inherit from your shared class.

Then you can use this new class in the Razor without any problems

You should use the full namespace

Solution.ProjectA.MyClass

ASP.NET Razor Views allow you to use using statements just like you would in a normal cs class. You just need to add the @ symbol

@using MyNamespace.ProjectA

It will work the same as a cs class.

I am talking about same class with same namespace. In short I need extern alias stackoverflow.com/questions/4759726/… –  user960567 Feb 18 at 12:20
