Instead of writing
<@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>
on every view I create I know I can easily just edit my web.config file and add this:
...
<pages>
<namespaces>
<add namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
But this doesn't seem to work in design time. Visual Studio 2010 is not able to see SPContext unless I add these two lines on top of my view as well:
<%@ Assembly Name="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>
So how do I add assemblies globally as well as import namespaces so VS will be able to resolve classes/objects?

To import a namespace in Razor view, we use using statement as we write in C# class however it should be prefixed with @. Here we are importing namespace MVCTraining5. Utility namespace.
To add the namespace globally instead of page-by-page, just put the namespace in your web. config. You might have to restart Visual Studio for the IntelliSense to kick in. You can also create a mini web.
Every time you need to import a namespace inside your view. This is the same as when you import a namespace in a standard C# code file. So, if you need to use a type which is declared in a different namespace than the View one, you'll need to add a using statement before using that type.
You also need to add the assembly to the <assemblies> section of the <compilation> section under <system.web>:
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add
assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
Your targetFramework and debug attribute values may vary according to the framework version you're targetting and whether you're debugging or not.
