For the life of me, I cannot get Razor view Intellisense to work properly in VS 2019 or VS 2022 when attempting to develop a Library plug-in for AbleCommerce. I pulled down the AC9-Samples from Github. There were a bunch of initial errors due to referencing an older version of CommerceBuilder. After updating the CommerceBuilder references for 9.0.6 and MVC references to 5.2.7, it built fine and created the .zip file, but Intellisense had the same issue I encountered before.

Intellisense error

I spent a full day trying different suggestions on how to fix the error: repairing VS, updating app.config, renaming app.config to web.config, updating web.config in the Views folder, starting over from a blank MVC project. If there is a suggestion to be found on Google, I tried it.

So I am left to wonder, what are the official AbleCommerce developers using for their development environment? Do you get these same errors and just ignore them?

I'm considering using VS 2022 to set up the project, then flipping over to VS Code to edit the views because the errors don't show up there.

I just found out that in a fresh MVC project through VS 2019, things work just fine until I reference CommerceBuilder.dll.

After 2 days I finally Intellisense to work for plug-ins. My steps...

  1. Create a new MVC Web Application (.Net Framework) project in Visual Studio 2019 (Had to use 2019 b/c 2022 doesn't have this project option)
  2. Remove everything but Web.config, packages.config, and Views/Web.config
  3. Add references to CommerceBuilder.dll and CommerceBuilder.Web.dll (<= Breaks intellisense)
  4. Add the following code to the main Web.config file within <system.web><compilation> (<= Fixes intellisense)


Code:
<assemblies>
    <add assembly="System.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
    <add assembly="System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
    <add assembly="System.Xml.Linq, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
</assemblies>
