When using asp.net mvc 3 project with vs 2010 I have lots of warnings like the ones below:

I wonder if I did something wrong and I need to change something, because this is the out of the box project that comes within Visual Studio.

Warning 1 The 'packages' element is not declared. C:\Users\LUIS.SIMBIOS\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SlnHR\HR\packages.config 2 2 HR

Warning 2 Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Attribute 'charset' is not a valid attribute of element 'meta'. C:\Users\LUIS.SIMBIOS\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SlnHR\HR\Views\Shared_Layout.cshtml 4 11 HR

Warning 20 Error 6002: The table/view 'HR.dbo.vw_aspnet_Users' does not have a primary key defined. The key has been inferred and the definition was created as a read-only table/view. C:\Users\LUIS.SIMBIOS\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SlnHR\HRRazorForms\Models\HR.edmx 1 1 HRRazorForms

Oh ok - now I get it. You can ignore this one - the XML for this is just not correct - the packages-element is indeed not declared (there is no reference to a schema or whatever). I think this is a known minor bug that won't do a thing because only NuGet will use this.

See this similar question also.
