ASP.NET RazorGenerator "WriteAttribute" is not defined

I'm using RazorGenerator https://github.com/RazorGenerator/RazorGenerator to outsource my menu to a DLL file so that I can share it across multiplice projects. In those views I've a foreach loop which should generate a list like this:

@foreach (var myItem in MyClass.Instance.Elements) {
    <li>
        <img src="@myItem.Icon" />
    </li>
}

But I can't compile them: The MyView.generated.cs file which is generated by RazorGenerator is creating the following line for the img tag: 

WriteAttribute("src", Tuple.Create(" src=\"", 1038), Tuple.Create("\"", 1057)

Here is the problem because I got an error that 'WriteAttribute' is not defined. I can't find many information about this method, seems like that this is a method from RazorGenerator.

The strange thing is that I tested the same code before in a testproject because it's the first time I'm using RazorGenerator. There it works with the same loop but I can't find out any differences. Both projects have the same references and assemblys also in the same version. I ony found out that WriteAttribute() came from WebPageExecutionBase.

How can I fix the issue?

Don't set the Build Action to none as suggested above as your local copy will not generate the correct generated.cs file.

By checking every package in both projects I found out that the NuGet-Package Microsoft.ASP.NET.WebPages was installed in an outdatet version. Can't figure out why because I used the "Update all" button in the NuGet-Manager of the project as I did in the testing-project and no errors were shown. I updatet the package using the NuGet-Console to the latest version which is 3.1.2 at the time I write this post and now it worked like expected.
