C# MVC Handle compilation error in views e.g. missing an assembly reference? [duplicate]

Question

My question is regarding handling errors like "missing an assembly reference?" in views specifically layout.cshtml

e.g. if I have some code in Head tag in layout.cshtml

<head>

@{
  @{

        try
        {
            var EnableSomething = BusinessLogic.MyBLL.GetSetting("SettingName");
        }
        catch { }
    }
}

</head>

This will work properly, but what if someone came and change "MyBLL" to "MyBLL1", in Layout.cshtml or remove the BusinessLogic DLL or change the DLL in a way that "MyBLL" does not exist in that DLL.

If there a way to handle this kind of situation in layout.cshtml itself ? I know this is a strange situation but just wanted to know if there is any way to handle this kind of situation.

Thank you all.

@StephenMuecke you are right, this code should be in controller but in this case it is in view ( layout.cshtml ). and it gives the compilation error when anyone request the page in above situation. — Deepak

@Deepak you already know what your problem is. The code is, where it should not be. Move it and get compile time errors. Pass the information into the view using a viewmodel or ViewData — Marco

You could try and install the Nuget of RazorGenerator

It will cause the build to break if building a view fails , So in the case of "MyBLL" to "MyBLL1"
