Referencing Account Field

I have my standard controller as Contact.

The below comes up with 'Error: Invalid field ShippingAddress for SObject Account'

<apex:outputtext Value="Address: {!Contact.account.ShippingAddress}"/> 

But when i use a custom field such as NOC__c instead of ShippingAddress it works fine!!

Please help

No problem, its same approach just setting to the different fields like:

{!Contact.account.Shippingstreet} {!contact.account.shippingcity} {!contact.account.shippingstate} {!contact.account.shippingpostalcode}

Etc..
You just need a merge field for each field you want to access and you can build it out that way.

Hi, compounded address is not available in apex, so you'll need to call each address field.  Spring 14 does make it available but only through API's.
