title: Using TagHelpers in Area Views
body: <p>I spent the last hour refactoring to use Areas, now all my Views don't seem to have function taghelpers :/</p>
  
  <p>So this is what's in the Index.cshtml</p>
  
  <pre><code>       &lt;div class="btn-group"&gt;
             &lt;a asp-controller="Survey" asp-area="Admin" asp-action="Create" class="btn btn-primary"&gt;Create New&lt;/a&gt;
         &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>...and this is the rendered HTML :/</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="btn-group"&gt;
    &lt;a asp-controller="Survey" asp-area="Admin" asp-action="Create" class="btn btn-primary"&gt;Create New&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Intellisense doesn't even show the asp- prefixes and syntax highlighting on the asp- attributes is also lost.</p>
  
  <p>Other SO issues reference "asp-route-area" but that just renders out verbtim like the rest.</p>
  
  <p>These all worked fine when they were in ~/Views/Name/Index.cshtml, move them out to ~/Areas/Name/Views/Name/ and nopers...</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?
  Steve</p>
