Last week I talked about Razor Class Libraries as a nice and easy way to package and share UI components for your ASP.NET Core MVC/Razor pages application.

It is really important that your shared View(Components) reside under a Views folder as this is where Razor will search it views by convention. You can override the convention if you want to but it is probably easier to just move everything to a Views folder like I did:
