Can I use System.Web.Mvc from a Class Library?

Question

I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC application, but I'm trying to remove everything but Controller code from my project and put it in it's own Class Library.

I've got some code that is
Using System.Web.Mvc;

But it doesn't seem to be letting me access it. I have Referenced the System.Web Namespace in the project.

Bassically I'm getting errors on the iActionFilter and the FilterAttribute stuff.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I believe the MVC stuff is in the System.Web.Mvc assembly. There should be nothing wrong with referencing that from a class library.

Answer 2

Turns out that the System.Web.MVC Assembly is NOT installed in the GAC. It has to be referenced from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 2\Assemblies
