MvcContrib namespace not visible in Views

I use MvcContrib Portable Areas, everything is ok, but I decided to use MvcContrib Grid. I have MvcContrib.dll and MvcContrib.FluentHtml.dll referenced to all projects of my solution. The problem is that Views don't see MvcContrib even though it is is referenced.

@using MvcContrib result is: "The type or namespace MvcContrib could not be found". In the root (parent) project everything is ok.

I use .NET 4.0 and MVC 3.0

I reference my Web.config from portable areas Views folder.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="system.web.webPages.razor" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">

I had the same problem and I fixed it by adding the MVC Contrib reference to my root module and to the areas modules too!

Also you may need to add the following codes to your views web.config where ever you used this Third-Party component.

<system.web.webPages.razor>
<host factoryType="..." />
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage">
     <namespaces>
     <add namespace="MvcContrib"/>
     <add namespace="MvcContrib.UI.Grid"/>
     <add...

I hope this would help
