The first way is that use  using statement in  cshtml files  that imports a namespace to current file only  and the second   In the  web config  file in  Views  directory of your project  notice it is not the main web config in project s root   find this section    lt system web webPages razor gt     lt pages pageBaseType  System Web Mvc WebViewPage  gt       lt namespaces gt         lt add namespace  System Web Mvc    gt         lt add namespace  System Web Mvc Ajax    gt                         lt  -- etc -- gt       lt  namespaces gt     lt  pages gt   lt  system web webPages razor gt    you can add your custom namespace like this    lt add namespace  My Custom    gt    that will add the namespace to all of  cshtml  and or  vbhtml  files  also you can change views inheritance from here  like    lt pages pageBaseType  My Custom MyWebViewPage  gt    Regards     UPDATE  Thanks to  Nick Silberstein to his reminder about areas  He said   If you re working within an area  you must add the namespace within the Web config under  Areas  lt AreaName gt  Views  rather than  Views
