How to avoid placing <% @ Import namespace = "MyProject.Helpers"%> on top of each view?

Question

I am working on my first asp.net mvc application, and I use custom helpers such as Html.Label () from the example on the official website.

To access Html.Label I have to post

<%@ Import Namespace="BRG.Helpers" %>

at the top of each species.

Is there any way to avoid this? I read somewhere that someone mentioned web.config, but I cannot find it anywhere.

Can anybody help me?

You can add a namespace to web.configin configuration\system.web\pages\namespaces, for example:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <pages ...>
            <controls ... />
            <namespaces>
                <add namespace="BRG.Helpers" />
            </namespaces>
        </pages>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

You can do this either in the root directory web.configor in the directory Views.
