I am trying to add sitecore to an existing solution where we already have an MVC Application.Now after adding Sitecore,I will make sitecore as start up project and add the reference of existing MVC Application as a reference to Sitecore MVC Application.
Since the existing application was using 4.5.1 and MVC 5.2.3,I am also using the same for my sitecore application.But the existing MVC application is using below:
1. System.Web.Http (Version:5.2.3.0)
2. System.Web.Http.WebHost (Version:5.2.3.0)
3. System.Net.Http.Formatting (Version:5.2.3.0)
So can I use the same for Sitecore?.If yes then I will have to Modify Web Config

Is this change fine?.Please suggest.
Instead of adding Sitecore to your solution you should probably look at it the other way around I.e getting your Mvc application to work in Sitecore.
You shouldn't really change the assembly versions Sitecore is using and you should try to get your Mvc application to work with Sitecore. You can't 100% guarantee that Sitecore will work using higher or lower versions of assemblies that it needs. Whereas with your Mvc solution (I'm assuming you have the source code) you can always try to modify this to work with Sitecore.
Verified with sitecore support and they confirmed that all the above changes are fine.

I am using asp net mvc 5 + Identity 2.0 + Owin + IdentityReboot project on my website. For login, I am using a two-factor login with email code confirmation as second login pass. Everything looks fine, except for the fact that the rememberMe functionality and the rememberBrowser are not working when I close the browser. It looks like the cookies created are not persistent.

Can anyone give me an advice here?
Possibly some confusion on rememberBrowser. If you enable 2FA and don't rememberBrowser, then you will need to go through 2FA to log on. If you enable 2FA and rememberBrowser, it won't go through 2FA on that computer/browser combo.
Can you test this out with the latest sample?
Follow my tutorial and use Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Samples -Version 2.1.0-alpha1 –Pre
The idea behind this is on your home/trusted computer, you don't want to go through 2FA each time, but every other place you log in you want to make sure it's not the bad guy.
I'm getting this error in Visual Studio, when I use #Html.Sitecore:
'System.Web.Webpages.Html.Htmlhelper' does not contain a definition for 'Sitecore' and the best extension methods overload 'Sitecore.Mvc.HtmlHelperExtensions.Sitecore(System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper)' has some invalid arguments.`
However, once deployed it does run without any problems.
I'm using Sitecore 7.2 with MVC 5.1.
Articles that I've read that deal with similar error messages, talk about the system.web.webPages.razor section of the Views folder web.config file. This is how it appears in my solution.
<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
</namespaces>
</pages>
Originally I thought I'd just need to restart VS, but that didn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions.
EDIT
This is the standard Sitecore 7.2 installation, and so has the following binding redirects:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-5.0.0.0" newVersion="5.1.0.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"/>

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"/>
</dependentAssembly>
Also when looking at the output from visual studio there is an additional error that I didn't spot before:
Instance argument: cannot convert from 'System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper' to 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper'
EDIT 2
I no longer think this is a Sitecore MVC issue. I get a similar error with #Html.ActionLink("xxx", "xxx"). Other people have seen this issue in VS2012, but I'm using 2013.
EDIT 3
There are now quite a few answers to this question. I recommend trying each of them as it seems there are numerous reasons this error might occur.
I have the same problem a while ago. We found out that we are missing the web.config inside /views folder. we copy a web.config from my other projects' /views and it solved the issue.
Try This, then try to restart visual studio.

You forgot to add <add namespace="Sitecore.Mvc" /> so that intellisense can pick it up in VS.
I have now resolved this issue. I simply had to install Update 2 of Visual Studio 2013. How frustrating.
Thanks to StriplingWarrior and Ahmed Okour for your useful advice.
I have used the below line at the top and the issue has been resolved.

You say you're using MVC 5, but you're referencing version 3 in the code you provided. Here's what mine says:
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
Try checking through your entire web.config file (or all the web.config files if you have multiple Areas) and making sure that all the versions are set right. For MVC 5, System.Web.WebPages should be on version 2 and System.Web.WebPages.Razor should be on version 3.

Sometimes its the silly things. Check you're not doing something like
#Html.Sitecore("placeholdername") // no method
or
#Html.Sitcore.Placeholder("placeholdername") // Missing parenthesis
when you should be doing
#Html.Sitecore().Placeholder("placeholdername") // this works

I have added Sitecore.Mvc dll in references with copy local to true and added below tag in view's web.config under namespaces tag, then my problem is resolved.
I've recently updated an ASP.NET MVC project from v3 to v4, and now my .cshtml Razor views have lost intellisense when edited in Visual Studio. Keywords and helper properties such as #model, #Url, #Html etc. are not being recognised and are producing errors in VS. When ran, the app itself works fine.
I've tried suggested solutions from various online sources, including SO, most of which involve tweaks to the web.config. I've been over them and I'm pretty sure my config settings are correct for MVC 4:

Now, I have made some observations which give me an inkling what the problem might be. If I go through my web.config and revert the references to MVC 3, i.e. MVC from version 4.0 to 3.0, and Razor/WebPages from 2.0 to 1.0, my view intellisense comes back (but obviously this leaves me with a non-functioning app).
I think I may possibly have an installation issue and Visual Studio, for whatever reason, is unable to locate the assemblies specified in the web.config for the purposes of Razor intellisense. I installed the ASP.NET MVC 4 reference via NuGet, and I've double-checked that all my referenced assemblies are the correct version. I've tried re-installing the MVC package and I've tried cleaning and rebuilding several times.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to how I can get this working. It's really hampering my productivity at the moment.
I think you need the System.Web.Helpers namespace and possibly System.Web.WebPages:
Change this:
<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" />
</namespaces>
to:
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Helpers" />
<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="System.Web.WebPages" />
</namespaces>
The solution which worked for me (taken from the release notes at http://www.asp.net/whitepapers/mvc4-release-notes):
In Solution Explorer, right-click the project name and then select Unload Project. Then right-click the name again and select Edit ProjectName.csproj.
Locate the ProjectTypeGuids element and replace {E53F8FEA-EAE0-44A6-8774-FFD645390401} with {E3E379DF-F4C6-4180-9B81-6769533ABE47}.
I have been able to develop a simple asp.net project without vs. Can someone help me doing the same for a asp.net mvc 3. Starting from getting the ASP.NET MVC 3 framework. It seems that we can't download anymore the assemblies. Is it possible to have the project compiled on the fly ( I mean without compiling the my web application but letting IIS doing so , it is possible to achieve this with the regular asp.net so I assume it could be possible with the MVC framework)
Thx
Dave
Sure, it's pretty easy, only a couple of steps after you install ASP.NET MVC 3.
Fire notepad.exe and create a HomeController.cs file (Of course if you don't want to use notepad you could also do this by using the copy con HomeController.cs command on the command prompt, this way you will be closer to the metal):
namespace MyApplication
{
using System.Web.Mvc;
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
}
Compile on the command prompt (adjust the folders to match yours)
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /t:library /out:MyApplication.dll /r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 3\Assemblies\System.Web.Mvc.dll" HomeController.cs
Create a folder c:\MyApplication
Create a folder c:\MyApplication\bin and copy MyApplication.dll to this bin folder.

Now you have all the necessary files for an ASP.NET MVC 3 application. The final step is to host it on a web server and run it.
Conclusion: unless you are suffering from some severe brain damage you will never do this and simply download Visual Studio 2010 Express and start developping ASP.NET MVC 3 applications by following the tutorials on the ASP.NET MVC web site.
Could you give a reason you don't want to use visual studio? There are free versions that are quite capable as IDEs.
If you would prefer to learn in a much more text editor experience you can also use Microsoft WebMatrix to create them on your local computer.
The easiest way to install Webmatrix or Visual Studio Web Developer Express is probably using the Web Platform Installer.
I've started using Portable Areas from the MvcContrib project. Everything works great with the exception of Visual Studio Intellisense. Has anyone been able to get their View intellisense to work...
Html. <-- does not exist in the current context.
I'm also not able to get intellisense on any of the models created in the same project...
I have the following web.config under the View folder for each portable area and intellisense is working for me. This is using asp.net 4.0, but I am pretty sure you can use the same format under 3.5.
Hope this helps

Yes. You need the pages declaration from the web.config in the normal views/shared folder in the folder you have your portable area view:
<pages
validateRequest="false"
pageParserFilterType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewTypeParserFilter"
pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage"
userControlBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl">
<controls>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" namespace="System.Web.Mvc" tagPrefix="mvc" />
</controls>
</pages>
I got this Web.Config from the PrecompiledMvcViewEngine NuGet Package and it works like a charm!
Place it in the root folder of your project!!
