Try doing a Build on your MVC project. Until the code behind has been compiled for the first time the intellisense won't work.
The best way I've found to force this to work is to Save the file, build close the file and reopen it... works 95% of the time for me. This is a known issue and has been fixed in the RC of ASP.NET MVC.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
