Asp.Net core 2.0 MVC anchor tag helper not working

Question

I am trying to create a demo page, and can't solve the next problem, and I tried everything what I found on the web. I have an anchor tag with tag helper:

<a class="menu-link" asp-area="" asp-controller="Telefon" asp-action="Index">Telefonok</a>

I also added a _ViewImports.cshtml and in it I added as I saw in the net @addTagHelper "*, Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.TagHelpers", but I still got an error: The name 'addTagHelper' does not exist in the current context

What did I wrong?!

Answer 1

There are two _ViewImports.cshtml, you probably need the one located in the Views Folder.

In my project I have a another one under Views/Manage

Also the line required should be as follows:

@addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers

This I believe means it will include all of the Tag Helpers in the namespace.

Note the use of the Asterix (*)
