Javascript Intellisense in Razor View Engine child pages

Question

I'm after a way of getting my referenced .js files in my 'master' cshtml files to come through to the 'child' cshtml files.

I have something like this in the master file, so the .js files always get referenced (and indeed I get js intellisense in the master file):

if (false)
{
     <script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/jquery.js"></script>
}

However when I reference the master.cshtml file in a 'child' page like this:

@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/master.cshtml";
}

I get no javascript intellisense. I really don't want to have to put the script tags at the top of each child page, there are a lot of script tags, and a lot of child pages!

Answer 1

The Razor editor right now cannot infer which script files are in use (this is because Razor layout pages are set via code and the editor does not execute a view page). Unfortunately you will have to include those script tags if you want JavaScript IntelliSense to work in your view pages.
