Hi,

Thanks for the great tool.

I use a name convention whereby my partial view names start with an '_'.

The class generated from the view doesn't include the underscore, which eventually leads to a name clash with the full view's generated class name.

For example 'Details' is usually implemented in two views: 'Details.cshtml' and '_Details.cshtml'; the classes in the generated file are both wrongly named 'Details'.

How do I overcome this 'tiny' issue? (see generated code below)

Thanks

Hmmm, not sure why the underscore is getting stripped. Seems underscores in the middle and end of the name are preserved, but those in the beginning are trimmed. Pranav?

The WebPages administrator pages (which was sort of the original reason this tool was written) was producing warnings about names that weren't CLR compliant when they had leading underscores which is why it trims by default. There's a directive you could add to make it not do this

At the top of your cshtml file,

@* TrimLeadingUnderscores: false *@

Hi pranavkm,

Thanks I will try that (even though I have to modify scores of views)

Does CLR non-compliance imply name clashes with Framework names?

Thanks again

You can add a single file named "razorgenerator.directives to the root of your views directory with the attribute and that should solve it:

// razorgenerator.directives

TrimLeadingUnderscores: false

To answer your other question, no. The assembly that had precompiled Razor files was part of the Mvc \ Asp.Net Web Stack framework and was consequently marked as CLS Complaint (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/570452/what-is-clscompliant-attribute-in-net). Trimming names by default was a cop out since it meant I could get away with not changing a dozen or so files. I should probably reverse it :)
