PdfMvcHelperExample not working

Bug Reports
I added thet 'PdfMvcHelperExample.cshtml' template, now trying to load the pdf, but I get this error;

Compilation Error

Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS0138: A using namespace directive can only be applied to namespaces; 'PdfHelper' is a type not a namespace

Source Error:
Line 1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> Line 2: @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage Line 3: @using PdfHelper Line 4: @{ Line 5: Layout = null;
pdf.cshtml and pdfHelper.cshtml are in the app_data folder.

The PDFRazorHelperExample.master works.

Any ideas?

My colleague Peter helped me with a solution.

First remove @using PdfHelper in the example. Then add the following to PdfHelper.cshtml in App_Code.
```
@functions
{
    private static new HtmlHelper<object> Html
    {
        get { return ((WebViewPage)CurrentPage).Html; }
    }

    private static UrlHelper Url
    {
        get { return ((WebViewPage)CurrentPage).Url; }
    }
}
```
