CSHTML Intellisense Console Application and Binding?

Question

I have a console application without a project reference for any ASP.NET MVC application. Starting Visual Studio 2010.

I created a cshtml file to check for template binding. I do not get IntelliSense in cshtml and putting "@model MyDataClass" at the top of the page is also not recognized.

How to get some View functions in my console application?

Thanks.
