Include external Razor Helper Function - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

Is there a way to import a razor in-line helper in the view?
I tried the following:
<% Html.Partial("PaginationTemplate"); %>
<!-- later down -->
<%= KnockoutPagination("pendingQuestionsPagination", "$root.pendingQuestionsViewModel.pagination") %>
Inside PaginationTemplate.cshtml...
#helper KnockoutPagination(string id, string context) {
<div id="#id" class="pagination pagination-centered" data-bind="with: #context, visible: #(context).hasPages">
<ul>
<li data-bind="css: prevCss">Prev</li>
<!-- ko foreach: pages -->
<li data-bind="css: $parent.pagingItemCss($data)"></li>
<!-- /ko -->
<li data-bind="css: nextCss">Next</li>
</ul>
</div>
}

You can make a global helper instead, which can be referred to anywhere. If you add an app_code folder, put a CSHTML file in there and define the helper, you can refer to this global helper by doing:
<file name>.<helper name>(params)
Then you can refer to it wherever you want. See this for more information.
