Given the following string extension method
namespace JHS.ExtensionMethods
{
public static class StringExtensions
{
public static string ToUSAPhone(this String str)
{
return String.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", Double.Parse(str));
}
}
}
A @using statement was added to the MVC4 Razor view
@using JHS.ExtensionMethods;
and the following string value calls the extension method
@Model.producer.phone.ToUSAPhone()
which results in the following error
'string' does not contain a definition for 'ToUSAPhone'
I also tried putting the namespace in the web.config of the /Views folder and receive the same error.
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Optimization"/>
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="JHS.ExtensionMethods"/>
</namespaces>
</pages>
I have verified the extension method works by putting the same call in a C# class
string test=producer.phone.ToUSAPhone();
It seems the reference to the extension method is not available in the MVC4 Razor view but I can't figure out why?
