Is there a "smart" way to find missing references in Visual Studio?

I'm trying to copy a template file from another solution to my project, but it is missing some references or assemblies.

Is there a "smart" way to find the missing references in Visual Studio?

 

What I'm doing is copying some template files from Rapido 2.0. the newsletter.cshtml, to my own project. I have also copied over EmailMaster and EmailHelpers, + the newslettere/paragraph/* folder and files. 

But when I build or try to use the template files, it is missing assemblies or references. I see that in the newslettter.cshtml it includes helpers and master, but intellisense is not catching the references to the helpers and classes?

Is there some helpers, references or NuGet packages I need to add?

And this is the error I get in frontend when I try to use the template...

Hi Bjørn

When using includes and master files in Dynamicweb templates, will not gice you VS intellisense - and they cshtml templates cannot be build. So you have to ignore the warnings related to that.

The reason you get the exception is that you are using the newslettermaster which has some references from Rapido - rapido have a website item settings which are referenced. So you need to remove thouse dependencies from your master template. See dump for some of them.
