Cannot use NuGet PagedList ASP.NET MVC # View

Question

I can't use the following namespace PagedList to use razor @model PagedList.IPagedList<PhoneBook.Models.Contact>in the topmost of view Index.cshtml

I already installed PagedList and i used already the code below in my Controller

 using PagedList;

there's no error in the controller page but why ican't use the namespace in Index.cshtml (View)? Please help..

you should put the assembly references in your `web.config` under the `Views` folder. http://stackoverflow.com/a/3876409/365526 — Buildstarted, May 18 '12 at 14:32

BuildStarted referral or existing on at the same time use,

in controller

using PagedList;
using PagedList.Mvc;

and use in view

@model PagedList.IPagedList<PhoneBook.Models.Contact>
@using PagedList;
@using PagedList.Mvc;

and use paging

@Html.PagedListPager(Model, page => Url.Action("Index", new { page =
page }))

When you added first time these usings on view, there might be error red underlines and you might not be able to use html helper of pagedlist. To use it, close the view and open it again. – Serhat Koroglu Aug 10 '14 at 15:35
Should I foreach them? Because now I can see the paging but I can't see the records. – Stanimir Yakimov Mar 07 '15 at 13:38
I had to Rebuild before the view would acknowledge the references – JsonStatham Apr 02 '15 at 17:43
FInally, after about 6 answers I've read at stackoverflow, this answer solved my issues quickly. Thanks! – Alonzzo2 Jul 29 '15 at 16:46

I just found this question because I was having the same problem. I have read through many tutorials suggesting the use of this PagedList object, but none of them said anything about adding anything to the web.config file. This is what I did in order to make this work. I used some of the info from the comment from @BuildStarted. I am using VS2010.

Add this to the web.config file:

<add assembly="PagedList.Mvc" namespace="PagedList.Mvc" tagPrefix="plmvc"/>

So it should look like this (snipped):

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <pages ...>
      <controls>
        <add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" namespace="System.Web.Mvc" tagPrefix="mvc" />
        **<add assembly="PagedList.Mvc" namespace="PagedList.Mvc" tagPrefix="plmvc"/>**
      </controls>
    </pages>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

Nice. But also look at this answer. It helped me in VS2012 MVC4.5 - No idea why Nuget did not auto add it... I had to do it manually. — Piotr Kula, Oct 13 '13 at 12:37

Restarting Visual Studio fixed it for me.

I had the same issue, when I'm using @model

PagedList.IPagedList

I get error :

PagedList.IPagedList<> does not contain a definition for ....

Solution :

In View -> Index.cshtml
Replace model.Code with model.First().Code

Just Add First() before all properties.

I believe I had exactly the same problem. Visual Studio underlines PagedList in red and asks "are you missing a using directive or assembly reference?".

All I had to do was build the project. Then Visual Studio stops complaining.

you need to add reference in your bin/assembly folder.

I had this same issue, I had to uninstall PagedList.Mvc and reinstall it because PagedList was in my references, but not PagedList.Mvc... Weird. – JGTaylor Oct 30 '15 at 17:25

Try using a non-capitalised "Mvc" in your imports and then rebuild.

@using PagedList.Mvc;
//@using PagedList.MVC;
