RazorGenerator runs into issues with EditorTemplates and DisplayTemplates where users end up having to fully qualify types in the template files for it to work correctly. The problem is with the way RazorGenerator differs in the generation of names compared to the Asp.Net build provider.
For a file named at ~\Views\Shared\Boolean.cshtml, the build provider generates file names of the format
namespace ASP {
_Page_Views_Shared_Boolean_cshtml : WebViewPage<Boolean?>
}
versus RazorGenerator's output looks like
namespace Views.Shared
{
public class Boolean : WebViewPage<Boolean?>
}
which results in the cs compiler incorrectly inferring the templated Boolean type.
Comments: A simple fix might be to prefix the generated type's class name to have a leading underscore if it's located under a folder named DisplayTemplates \ EditorTemplates.
