Hi Jano,

Looking at your screenshot and what you've said, I'm assuming you've done a clean install and you've installed the Starter Kit.

As such, by default Umbraco runs with Models Builder in PureLive mode. This means that views in Visual Studio will error and you won't get intelli sense as the Models (Home/Blog/BlogPost etc) don't actually exist until the site is running.

If you run the site in IISExpress, by default, it will try and go to the home page and it's possible you'll see that error again. However, what happens if you try and go to /Umbraco, does the back office work?

Cheers

Nik

Hi Nik,

Thank you for your reply. I am lost here. Where would I type(go to) /Umbraco?

Thanks,

Jano

My collection of errors grows, I went from 8 to 18 ;)

I get this.

No - the errors show up as shown in my second screenshot.

Yes - the site does not work.

This is the Yes result...

Right, I got in...

Couple of errors:

I am left with no capability to compile any changes if I want to make some adjustments.

That's just VS beginner's luck, I guess :-)

I have never seen this 'trick' of code being generated on the fly.

It's really odd tbh, those errors don't normally stop the website from running as they are in the views. It is as if, some how, pre-compilation of the views is being triggered and normally that happens at run time rather than at compile time.

Do you have any odd settings in Visual Studio around that sort of behaviour?

Is there any other way how to work with umbraco?

How do people do development? What am I missing? What is the best practice?

This is a disaster for me.
