asp.net mvc - Visual studio showing syntax errors in razor statements but works

Question

I've a project in MVC 3. It works perfectly and each time I build it, it succeeds. However, Visual Studio insist in showing compile errors in views in each razor syntax. For example:

The name 'model' does not exist in the current context D: ... Detail.cshtml

That line is simple:

@model Namespace.DetailViewModel

I've already tried:

• Cleaning solution
• Cleaning solution and deleting bin and obj folders.
• Closing VS and reopening it (even with a reboot in the middle).

Note: I'm using Visual Studio 2012.

Answer 1

I've solved it!

The project was created when the computer didn't have MVC 4 installed yet. After installing it, for some reason, it kept working (despite this).

So what I did was make the changes that should be made in MVC 3 project after installing MVC 4: see here

After that, it compiled and the errors disappeared, however there was an error with the versions of some libraries (System.Web.WebPages, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, and some others). That turned out to be because they had Copy Local set to True. After changing that everything started working great.
